Watch out for the ones which burrow under your skin and then lay eggs and then the eggs hatch and then they eat your heart

It's the computer generated ones that can talk you should be worried about

We've got an ant infestation, and yes the little bastards get everywhere.. we get rid of them for 2-3 days before the scouts are back out roaming.

I’ve been told that Nippon ant killer is illegal and rubbish

My office is infested.I thought about putting a pile of sugar outside so they might concentrate on that instead of coming in here.

Don't use any chemicals to kill them as you'll end up breathing in microparticles (ooh hark at me!) and they will stay in your body for ever - the chemicals and not the ants!

All you need to do is put your food away, wash up after you eat and scrub your floor with hot water and mild detergent.

Ants are really clever and follow a trail of ants who have previously searched for sugar and hit the jackpot.  All they want is sugar - it's like ant crack cocaine 8)

If you wash your floor and surfaces, they'll go to someone else's house because they won't be able to follow the trail.  It works 'cos we've had ants since April (tropical Cotswolds) and every time I mop the floor we don't see any back for ages!

Ants aren't dangerous and won't spread disease so you could just live with it I suppose.

No they give off fumes that you breathe in and then you will die  :(

Don't you be tainting UK ants with the same brush as the Australian fire ant (the Pete Doherty of all antkind).

The fire ants live in Queensland and guess what is the main crop grown in Queensland?

Yup - sugar cane (aka PURE ant crack) :nod:

These ants have evolved as a result of all the chemicals they've been treated with to try and get rid of them and they are now a bit like "super ants" ......

We get millions of tiny little red fuckers out here who get EVERYWHERE!!!! They bite like there is no tomorrow and it is shocking as to how creatures so fucking small can have bites which are sooooooo fucking painful. I was once once drying my self off after a shower only to find that hundreds of the little cunts were in the towel that I was using, they left no part of my body un-bitten.  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:
