Dead ants. - Page 3

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?

I came home last night to find ants all over the kitchen sink. I sprayed after tracking them to the gaps around the dishwasher. I ended up woth spots on my floor that were black with ants. The Boy and I then counted 3-4 queens!! The were young wannabe queens, but still queens.

Grossout story:
I was getting ready to take a shower, turned on the bathtub faucet and nothing for almost 3 seconds then "THUMP". An entire colony (with queen) came out!! I had ants all over the tub. They became boiled ants very quickly.

It just amazes me that they can set up shop so fast.

I lived in Flrodia for a few years in the 70s. Our home backed up to an orange grove.

We could go to bed with nothing in our yard, and wake up to a red ant mound 2 feet by 2 feet and 6-8 inches high. Those things were incredible. New show in the ant world - extreme mound makeover - they have 7 minutes instead of 7 days.

Anyway, the only way to get rid of them was to pour gas or kerosene on the mound and ignite it. Just too many of them for any insecticide method. not that I would endorse that method for indoors issues. I feel I must make the disclaimer for fear of lawsuit when someone tries it.

My dad did this to the red ant hill in our street. I was bitten by those guys a couple times. I was sure the fire would hit some sort of gas main and blow us all to kingdom come. All that happened is that the ants stayed away, permanently.

I went to put on my contacts this morning and what do I find? Dead ants swimming in my contact case!

No other ants to be found.

Did you leave it open? I'm rather meticulous about shutting mine. My eyes get pissed off at my contacts enough as it is, without ant parts in the mix. Blech.

No that's the weird thing. It was snapped shut but I think that's the problem it's not a screw on cap it's snaps on and off I'm sure they found a way to get in. So I'm with no contacts for a few hours. I'd rather wear glasses then have Ant guts in my eye's
