Fire ants crawled all over me as a kid when I sat outside to tie my shoes, so I hate ants. A friend of mine likes to stick them onto sticky notes. Amusing, but a waste of paper.

Hmm… I prefer not to interfere with the nature’s course, unless it comes to my territory in an invasive manner. And that’s what has happened to you, so here’s my attempt to help.

Proven to function method that doesn’t involve explosives or dangerous chemicals that would poison the ecosystem…

Boiling water in poured in large doses on the ant hill several times. You’ll burn and drown ants by the thousands.
The queen resides in the deepest parts of the ant hill, which is why you have to pour lots of boiling water many times. Otherwise the water might not reach deep enough to kill the queen. When the queen is dead, the colony usually breaks up or leaves.

Wow, I have been playing Gears of War almost nonstop recently, so all this talk of destroying ants and undergound nests really makes me want to go build an explosive and annihilate any insect i see now…

Btw, jordan’s idea for the m80 would be a lot of fun, but picture about 5 inch long tube filled with heavily compressed black powder and jamming it deep beneath the anthill (from the side)… I would love to see it shoot up then implode.

MWA HA HA HA HA

I once totally smashed an anthill by making a little machine that used a car tire to totally mash it up. Sand and ants ewere flying through the air.

some ants made a nest in a dead squirrel in our yard once, and then when we went to clean it up, we all got bit. so we lit the squirrel on fire. it worked really well. the coolest way i can imagine to clear an anthill though would have to be to drill a hole down with one of those long drill bits, and drop an m80 in the hole.

Ants taking over your yard…

Ever read ‘City’ by Clifford D. Simak?

My dad uses gasoline to get rid of ants. It sure stinks, but it sinks down into the ground and suffocates those little buggers. Also, I think it’s illegal. Lighting the gas is optional.

Lol, I remember when I was a kid ants attempted to invade the house near Christmastime. They were crawling all over a corner of the floor. me being the creative genius I am, made a machine out of Knex called the “Smasher” and ended up crushing every single little ant to death. My mom didnt even need to use poison. Glassing anthill and boiling them alive may sound fun, but its just as fun to take them out one by one.

Yeah, I’m enjoying seeing the gravatars that people have.

Hey, nice website update! The best part of the update, I think, is that Biff’s at the top. The last design had other people’s logos at the top(in the form of ads), making me think I had the wrong site at first. Is my toolbar leaking, or is someone urinating on Biff?
Better width and Gravatars for the win.
Also, I don’t believe there was a Twitter box last time. Gotta watch you…
