Ants DIE. *PIC*

ants.jpg Further to my other thread about the pharoah ants, which were thoroughly uninterested in the crappy ortho or raid traps, I today received my order or terro.com ant juice. I thought it would work and I was right.

The ants love this stuff as you can tell and with a 5% concentration of borax I don't expect to see them for long!
 
Fear not, the ants will persist. Summer here is traditionally a 3-month war with the ants. Seal one way in, they simply find another. Currently, they've figured out how to come in on the water feed. They just dug a tunnel along the pipe or somthing and come in throught the same hole. Poison slows them down here, but never for very long, it's as if there's a single giant colony surrounding the house on all sides.
 
yes ants suck. we had a carpenter ant nest in our attic. at least i think they were carpenters..about 1/4 inch long.

my dad got some chemical that he has always used for killing ants but im not sure what it is. i have to ask him. it kills all of them and hangs around to repel them.

on a sidenote, my worst interaction with one of theses ants was when it crawled inside my coke can. that little bastard bit the inside of my cheek on my next sip. that was not fun at all.

Ouch. At least it didn't wait until it was on the way down. Ours are of the pissant variety. One time last year I left a half full coke can out overnight by mistake and awoke the next day to find a billion dead ants on top of (and presumably inside as well) my coke can - they had died from some chemical weapons that we deployed against them around that time.

My little brother and I were wrestling in the backyard when we were little. He fill into a big fire ant mound. He had ants all over his arm. Once we got the ants off, his arm looked so disgusting from the ant bites.

Our old house was infested for a while. I remember going to bed and feeling crawlies on me. I leapt out of bed, turned on a light... there were ants all over my bed. :disgust:
 
Ants are unstoppable. I have all perceived cracks duct taped!

One time I came home after 2 weeks vacation. There was an invasion of thousands of these micro ants. I spent several hours squashing them.

They actually smelled the sugar can from outside and were feeding solely off it. I have to truly admire their sense of smell!

Congratulations - you've encountered the pissant species :beer:

Other species are easily stopped due to size, but pissants can easily pass through holes not visible to humans.
 
its only a matter of time before ants take over the world
i remember reading there was an ant tribe that stretched 5,000 miles from mexico to south america.
 
It is my theory that we were implanted here by alien ants to create a food source for the next wave of super ants. They will then take over the earth and continue on their massive colinization of the universe.

Our only hope is the cockroach, who currently battle the ants in a never ending quest for domination.

OK, maybe not, but, it might make a good plot for a crappy movie.

Wow! I think I saw one of those the other day when I was working (I work outside). I had never heard of those type of ants! Glad I didn't mess with it :Q
