the lil dude has been in our bathroom for a few days now. it's one of those small black ants. i took a study break and put a drop of amaretto on the floor to see what he'd do. he went to it, tasted it or whatever ants do, and then backed away real quick. he keeps going back every few seconds or so though.

i felt sorry for him since he was by himself in the bathroom. poor ant.

Ants love alcohol.

Once we left some shot glasses out on the counter that we were using to take shots of Jagermeister.. they were covered in the morning! :Q

Ants don't actually eat any of that stuff they go after. They check it for sugar (which alcohol has lots of generally), then they take it back to their buddies for processing.

think about it. if you are carrying around 80x your body weight all the time for some repugnant, pudgy, and selfish brat of a queen all day jsut to have it smashed by some over zealous 4 year old who took an interest in you guys and killed have of your colony two days ago with a magnifying glass, you'd wanted to get as wasted as you could get.

One of my most striking memories from early childhood is seeing a cartoon-style platoon of ants marching single-file to and from my infant sister's pissy diaper that had fallen out of an overfilled trashcan. :D

Thankfully because I only read your post I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm not going to try and figure it out.

I performed a somewhat similar experiment on some strange bug that ran across my desk yesterday morning. I trapped it in a glass, and introduced a small quantity of cheap 'n 'orrible vodka (Dimitri, Chicago's finest, and only). Within 30 seconds the writhing had stopped and the bug was dead. Even Raid took longer.

Well, duh.

The first ant was just a scout.

They'll go away when the food runs out though. Besides the occasional scout.

If it is drinking alcohol, it will kill it. I find roaches in my house love alcoholic beverages and they get drunk and die. Just about nothing other than a shoe kills them but drinking alcohol always works just fine.

Why not exterminate the roaches and not live with them?
