For reasons I cannot begin to fathom, over the holiday season they re-did all of the elecrical at work... now when we got back from break... did we notice anything different in the electrical? Sure... we've had a abunch of blackouts... what else you say? Ants. Lots and LOTS of ants.
All over my desk...
So every morning when i get to work, I get to clean up their little carcassas of the ones who did not make it through the night. I cant decide if its sad, or disgusting.

Heehee, Tref! :D

Hmm. Apparently ant infestations are not very popular around here. Intriguing. ;)

Is it the rain? Are ant invasions common this time of year? Up here, it's too damn cold- I've always assumed they hibernate all winter.... Our annual invasion begins around mid-spring.

Who knows. Our ants are insane. They follow no pattern, they know no season, they ignore all food.

Bitter East Coast Ants?

for the record, i bought two large cans of ANT SPRAY this week. one for each end of the house, so i don't have far to go when i see the disgusting march from nowhere. can anyone else ever find where the hell they come from??

i'm all for ants gettin their mojo on, but, not in my house.:mad:

Damned funny post Tref!!! Definitely deserves mojo!

When GusGus and I lived in Rancho Cucamonga, our complex was built on the grounds of old grape vineyards. Ants were just a way of life.

WARNING!!! Gross out story ahead. When I was in college, we were renting a house. There were several half wine barrels out front that had been planters previously (but by the time we got there they were just filled with dirt). The owner decided to do some clean-up one day and we were helping him. I decided to remove the wine barrels. I started by knocking the sides off (fairly easy since time and nature had already done most of the work). The I drove a shovel right into the middle of the remaining dirt pile.

When I did that, it appeared that I had hit an oil line. The ants were so thick, that it looked like a a black liquid flowing out. As I broke that dirt pile down more, I came to discover that the entire mound of dirt was a giant ant farm. I have never seen so many ants in one place in my life.

Gave me the heebie-jeebies for a few nights.

whenever I think of ants I remember the macgyver episode from my youth that gave me freakin nightmares for like a week. Anyone else remember this? Where mac had to basically get out of a old plantation that was literally overrun with african ants?

Embrace the ant, man. Embrace the ant.
