They have to be stopped! Ants are nothing but pure evil, and there's no way to stop them! If we wanted to completely eradicate the unnatural populations of ants in places where they weren't ranging before, we'd never be able to accomplish it. Never :(

Why did I make this thread? Because I realized I had 6 ant bites on my legs... and they're itching like crazy.

What sorts of ant problems do you all have where you live? Do you have to cope with predatorial Killer Ants like some of us? Things like fire ants, crazy ants, and other predator species.

More than my hatred of spiders, there is the hatred of ants... and it is justified too, as ants are causing dangerous decline in many animal species as they move in to ranges that the ecosystem isn't prepared for. Christmas Island for example, where they're killing tens of millions of christmas island red crabs. I've never heard of these cool crabs before, which live on land(land!), burrowing in the earth in the forests, eating leaves and such. Then they have these huge migrations to the water to lay their eggs, and back again. Apparently the streets get so crowded, it's almost like a sea of crabs scuttling about. And the ants are threatening this.

Kill em all! Maybe not :( I hope some day our supreme knowledge of warfare aids us in the war against ants. :sniper:

And now... I go to bed. <yawns>

EDIT: But before I do... heh heh. An awesome way to kill fire ants... Phorid flies! Yes... these horny devils lay eggs in the ants head, which causes it to fall off.

Yes... nothing quite like having a fly burst from your head. Life is sweet... sucky for the ants.

And look at the little cowards hide. For once I get to see ants hide, and not everything else hide from them. Who would of thought such tiny little things can be so deadly.

During the anti-insect tyranny phase that most boys go through when they're young, I had many encounters with ants. I grew to respect them greatly.

They would survive having their stomachs pulled off, but would often be traumatised, standing there trembling. At other times I would submerge them in water for what I considered to be a suitably dangerous amount of time and then remove them - frequently they would appear to die, and then after a number of minutes would recover consciousness. Alas, many were the ants that ceased moving permanently by my hand.

Another thing I used to do was drop individual ants on an especially evil looking spiderweb in my shed. The spider would come out and poison them, and scurry back into its niche, upon which I would remove the now paralysed ant. God knows what happened to these guys, since the recovery period (if there was one) seemed to be longer than my attention span, and they often blew out of my hand in the breeze anyway.

In all our battles I came to realise that ants are admirable, not least because they make hardly any mess whatsoever when you kill them. This is a very respectable trait in an insect, and one not shared by scum such as bluebottles or cockroaches. However ants are also double-hard bastards. I was in Bulgaria on holiday - again, as a child - and in the summer there are some enormous bees and wasps there. One time I was sauntering casually along when I noticed one such wasp bumping and jerking along the pavement in a strange manner. Upon closer inspection, this enormous wasp carcass was supported underneath by a lone ant, maybe 1/40th of its size.

I have since declared a truce with ants, except on those grim hot days in Britain when the fly-ants come out and creep along the concrete, or tumble through the air into people's mouths. Those bastards are grim and must be killed without compunction. Unlike normal ants they also leave a massive mess when killed, which they clearly do as some kind of act of defiance which should not be tolerated.

But yeah - ants, bees + spiders are insects I try not to kill because I kind of like them. I am still at war with wasps, which I have killed with everything ranging from jars of jam to hedgetrimmers in my time.

I don't think that ants are the biggest pest on the face of this earth. If I would have to say the worlds pest. I would say gnats when you are trying to do something they are right there with you. There is almost nothing in your power to get rid of these all mighty pests. Even the commercial bug spray that you can spray yourself with does not keep these pests away. Then they get into your ear and by far the worst.... your eye. They really flip out when they see that you're eye has a little bit of moister and they do like a nose dive at max speed into your eye. But yes I would have to agree that ants are a pest also. When you feel like laying on the ground you look around and there are no ants. Then when you get back up there are like 10101010010 of them surrounding you stargazing on how they are going to pick you up or something.
 
The worst form of torture I could imigine, is being covered with hundreds of bullet ants. The most painful sting in existence apparently, that feels like being shot by a bullet.
 
I hate ants, been a soldier in the Second Ant war also, was in one of the tuffest battles actually...i was the one who had to flush their HQ with hot water. I also was with an artillery unit throwing stuff at them too...and sometimes me and the generals would sneak of to the battlefield with shuffles and dig the hell outta the ants HQ! I was also a part of the secret biological weapon tactics, i was the first one to test the "Graffiti Spray" on the ants. You see what happens is that, when i sprayed an ant totaly silver so he looked like the T-1000 from Terminator 2, he started shaking and then falled to the ground from the ledge he was on...i guess the toxic in the spray was like azid on him.

Well, thats a part of history, im still very proud of what i did to those facist bastards.
 
i would say administrators at my job are the biggest pests... they have their heads so far up their ass they can see George Bush's point of view!
 
OOO<

Them is pexky little buggers! They've invaded my room, but I've killed quite a large number of their kind. Interestingly, when I squish these little buggers, there's this toxic-smelling strong scent...as if they've been eating something they shouldn't.
 
The girls next door always lead their trash outside. We're on the corner of the building, so the ants come from our side, cross our door, and go to their garbage. Of course sometimes they come into our place, which pisses me off.

I don't blame the ants though, I blame the stupid bitches next door. Who works at Joe's Crab Shack anyway?
 
Agreed. We should also kill rats, mice, wasps and big birds. With mankind's superior technology and intelligence we could surely accomplish it.

Oh, so true. I remember being so goddamned sick of spiders I picked this huge garden spider up and threw him into this huge gang of ants. It was awesome.
Each ant grabbed one of his legs and dragged him into the nest. It was a joy to behold.

He he Ants 1, Spider 0. Grand prize? A meeting with the handy dandy magnifying glass death ray:E .
 
I had some ants on the windowsill a few days ago, but I beat them all with a newspaper. None have returned.

Never been bitten by ants, but when I went to Brazil, I saw plenty of huge red ants... I think those were the red fire ants that bite you.
 
Brazilian fire ants have a red head and thorax and a more black abdomen.

It's funny that there are places where ants don't bite your. That's so commonplace here.

lol, reminds me from when I used to gather slugs and put them on anthills. They died within 10 seconds. :D
 
I have been fighting this ongoing threat for years. I to tried the primitive methods of spraying them and squashing them that you Primates use. But then I wised up. I now have any army of 500 ant eaters that I am preparing to release on the unsuspecting ants. Im also working on a half man,half ant eater that is living in my basement.
 
Woah, imagine that. A bigass 1 meter wide fly facehump you then flys start coming out from under your skin.

Being an ant sucks. :|
 
Best ant genocide ever: annihilated their nest in an enormous explosion (that also scorched a large part of my garden) after I poured white spirit on a bonfire that had been sort of... smouldering for a little while after going out.
 
Ants no bigger than the size of this bar:

sometimes get all over my bathroom sink. I just press my index finger against their bodies and wash them down the sink.

You seriously wrote a paragraph about gnats?

Wow...
 
Ahahah!

When I was about 3 or 4 living at Tyndall AFB, I stood under a tree unaware I was wrecking the entrance to an ant hill.

Boy they did not waste any time crawling up and biting my oblivious ass to high heaven.

My mawm was mowing the lon when I started freaking out, then she ran over and threw me in the tub. :|

Still though I don't have a vendetta against them.
 
Ants kill more human individuals than all big predator species combined.
