It's a hurricane of ants!!!

[ussfletcher]

It would be fun to spritz on some DDT.

 

[Squisher]

Yeah, I saw this on wimp yesterday. I wonder what would happen if you threw a cracker into the spiral?

I don't like indiscriminately spraying chemicals around. I did some localized spraying outside once, and about a month later saw a woodpecker eating ants out back. I haven't sprayed since. The ants I have are a nuisance, but ultimately harmless. If they were roaches, termites, or some other kind of destructive pest, I wouldn't have a problem with spraying, but for a minor irritation like ants, I just live with it, and manually wipe them up with a dishrag. You'd think the manual method would work after awhile, but there's a never ending supply. I'd love to know the actual number. I bet it's astounding :^D

mint spray

mint is a neurotoxin to ants, and is of course safe for humans and most pets to spray liberally everywhere

Good man.

Why are so many people so scared of these harmless ants? Sure some kinds of ants can be a problem. but most aren't too bad.

So even biological code encounters infinite loops.

The ants divided by 0

Yeah, I never understood the mass panic surrounding ants. They aren't dirty critters. They mind their own business for the most part.

As long as they aren't actually getting into your food, I see it as a win-win. They clean up your crumbs, and get food at the same time.

My motto regarding ants is that if you don't want them around, stop feeding them.

Of course, this does not apply to carpenter ants or any other ant that lives in wood. But in general, yeah.

Or those that bite. Or those that start habitating in the bedroom, bathroom, etc. A friend had a tree against the side of his aparment and frequently found ants in his bed.

Fuck that. I don't spray indiscriminately outside, but I DO NOT want the little bastards INSIDE my house. Once I find ants or other "undesirable" insects inside the house...I declare nuclear war on the sombitches...

(of course, I never manage to kill them ALL...but I do put a severe dent in the population)
