i have seen that video so many times, first time i remember watching it a few times right away. its so cool how it starts out, just a couple and then word got out and Bam its a sworm. and how they move it al like clockwork. ants sure are an incredible insect imho.

That and the way they use pheromones to keep track of where everyone else is going and to find the way home... Makes us look simple....

freebody you crack me up but i agree with you on a lot of things.

But side note...BLAAAAAAAAAH! god i hate ants! i mean individually they are kind of cute but good lord i clicked on that video...why WHY did i?? I am a strong stomached individual and i have no fear but i actually had to peek through my fingers to try to find the X out of that window because NASTY nasty crawling icky ants! *lmao* omg.
I would have had to clean them out and be late, because i'd throw up knowing they were all over my critter annoying it. BLAH!

This is also coming from an ant-traumatized chick with Myrmecophobia...fear of ants! BLAH!!!

scoop up as much of the nest and the ants,then.....

put them in your house mates bed

maybe they will get the hint and stop leaving dirty dishes around

or....

transfer the nest and ants,into your house mates underwear drawer,some ants in his pants should do the trick

cheers shaun

Ants are fine as long as they're not nesting in my stuff and making trails through my house...

Don't forget to leave a note with directions to the kitchen sink just incase they don't know where dirty dishes belong! LOL

My room doesn't have a lock. I'd rather not give them clues to who did

Hmmm.... Very true.

OMG there were so many! They were for sure attracted to the moss... I don't wanna put it back in now. Damn ants

jaleely · 04-21-12, 01:29 PM

putting ants in their bed would be such a freakin good idea! they'd never know it was you...the problem is they may not realize the connection of if you are nasty and leave crap everywhere, it will attract ants.

can you put ant traps around the stand the snake is on? to keep them from coming back?

Yeah I'm gonna go buy some Borax today. I didn't put any moss back in the tank either. In his humid hide, which he NEVER went into, I put damp paper towels instead of moss, and guess where he was this morning lol. Humidity is 92% in there, so I guess the moss doesn't need to be there anymore.

Trollbie · 04-21-12, 01:38 PM

And yeah... I don't think they'll ever stop being nasty... Ughh

Trollbie · 04-21-12, 08:09 PM

FML

While I was out getting any stuff, they came back. I'm gonna cry...

jaleely · 04-22-12, 01:33 AM

can you move the snake tank, after cleaning it out again? maybe you can like, stick duct tape on the outside of the tank, backwards, so the sticky side is up, and maybe they'll stick to it! lol
