I wonder if there's some bigger ecological attack going on.

I worked from home on Thursday, and as I was sitting in my dining room all of a sudden something ran up my bare leg. (I was wearing shorts, you perverts.) I leapt up and something big and black fell off and ran under my chair. I went on the hunt and it was one of the enormous tree ants that live out in our front yard. I see them all the time, but had never seen one in the house. I killed it to send a message, but over the rest of the day I saw two more and my wife saw one. We've lived in the house for over 20 years and have never seen an ant inside.

We've always had a treaty where they stay in the front yard and I leave them alone when I'm out there. I'm wondering if I need to declare war on them now that they've broken the treaty. Are ants in the yard a good thing, bad thing, or neutral? We've got some regular tiny ants who live in the ground, and then these enormous tree ants who live in one of our trees.

Hell of it is I've never been bit by an ant before in my life. And I **** with ants. A lot. Every time I see a Hill of ants I turn it over with a spade or kick it down or something. Never been bit.

But both times I was just walking by a hill and they crawl up my leg and bite the **** out of me. The first time I just chalked it up to the day I was having. (The whole day was hot garbage. I'd have gotten a lot more done if I'd have just kicked myself in the balls and went back to bed). But today, that's over the line. Either time I was ****ing with the ants.

So that's it mother****ers. ****ing with/murdering ants is going way up the priority list.

Wait until fire ants make it that far north.

Got a solar powered mole/gopher stake for Mom, and she's not had a problem yet this year.

Stick water hose in hole . Turn on. Shoot or smash. Or grub killer.

You know nothing of ant war.

Try moving into a rental property in the winter, and then summer comes and suddenly ants are ALL OVER your house.

I'm talking kitchen cabinets, all over the counters, inside the shower, INSIDE THE MEDICINE CABINET.

What a nightmare that was.

How do you catch them to stab them in the heart?

Borax around your foundation and anywhere else you see the trail leading to the colony.

Borax works and is cheap.;)

Sharks wearing laser beams, of course.

It keeps them away so you don't have to.

Diatomaceous earth works for scorpions and the like out here. Cuts them up like razor blades.

They are really vicious. I have been bitten 8-10 times in the same day by these little bastards. You can't stand on the ground barefoot for more than 5 minutes without being bit by one of them.

That shit is ant genocide in a tube. The aftermath is comically macabre.
Speaking of Terro, does anyone have a review of this stuff -

On top of using that death gel on the little ****s inside, I was thinking about putting this stuff outside.
