ANTS

[beastieangel01]

I kind of forgot that every summer my parents home becomes infested with ants.

I JUST GOT HERE AND THEY ARE ON EVERYTHING. They attack EVERYTHING. They even attack used underwear. One just crawled across my screen, one is on my speaker, at least 5 of them are on my dresser.

I am not even sleeping on the bed tonight since ANTS ARE CRAWLING ON IT.

MOTHERFUCKER :mad:

[Ace42X]

Buy ant-poison? The stuff they take into their colony and feed it to all the emerging larvae so the colony dies out. Or get some ant-eaters as pets...

[beastieangel01]

my parents did that. Tried to get em from the outside. And yet, here they are. One just crawled on my foot. I even have the little hotels for them, but no. I would spray my room with raid but last time I did that I almost died from the fumes

:(

[kaiser soze]

you think you have it bad?

well I have UNCLES!

[Yeti]

I have an old ant remedy. Spread wet rice around areas they are lurking. They will ingest the rice and it will expand in their stomachs. They will explode like Oprah on an eating binge. True.

[TurdBerglar]

you ever go to pure yourself a bowl of cereal and a shitload of ants come out?

that's shit

COMBAT by Raid or a fly swatter.

[zorra_chiflada]

i can't understand why your spelling is so bad.

[kaiser soze]

nah, that's not fast enough

I suggest a flamethrower

[beastieangel01]

i can't understand why your spelling is so bad.

if you are addressing I, I am blinded by fury due to ants.

Then again it's always pretty bad. Touche.

no that was meant for turd
"pure" a bowl of cereal???

oh I missed that. I didn't realize he even posted.

[TurdBerglar]

i don't know. sometimes i spell things correct. sometimes i spell things wrong.

[Yeti]

We all know Turd is a grammatical nightmare. Now can we get back to the damn ants.

[jlees_mcsd]

!
COMBAT MAX is the stuff they eat and take back to the nest and wipe out the lot of them. And I know that shit works because we get big fat black Carpenter ants every year.

[Yeti]

I've always liked the roach and ant motels. They flock to them for the free HBO.

[jlees_mcsd]

i don't know. sometimes i spell things correct. sometimes i spell things wrong.


How funny would it have been if you spelled spell smell in that last post? LMAO

[TurdBerglar]

when i actually write shit down on paper sometimes a stray number makes it into the mix.

[jackrock]

I'd post a picture of what I have to live with up here, but the mere thought of it makes me shiver, seriously. These fuckers are huge, they make Stallone scream like a little girl and jump into his mommy's arms. Buyt it sounds like you have it rough. (n)

[Ace42X]

Surely, if you get them every year, that is evidence it doesn't work?

[jlees_mcsd]

I live in the woods so it is not unnatural to get them every spring.

[Yeti]

That crap does not work. It is a quick fix. It is like using over the counter cough medicine and suffering for weeks. You can go to a Doctor and get the real deal and boom you feel like a million bucks. I say call the exterminator because those guys are hired killers. Just make sure the phones aren't tapped.

[Ace42X]

Ants have colonized almost every landmass on Earth. They can constitute up to 15% of the total animal biomass of a tropical rainforest; in the Amazon the combined weight of the ants is said to be four times larger than that of the tetrapods in the same area. As of 2006, there are 11,880 known ant species, most of which reside in hot climates.

I live in Northern Michigan, our ants are corn fed and beefy, and we only have two weeks a year that we can call summer. Weird huh?

Near Alpina? I dated a gal for about 5 years and she had relatives in Alpina.
It sounds frigid up there and those huge cornfed ants just add to the chaos.

Alpeana is around the way from me, but I don't hang around there much. How in the world does someone in TX date someone in Alpeana MI???

I am originally from Virginia. She was a Richmond gal. She is now the Governor of Tennessee's press secretary and has a kid. Her mom was German and met her husband during the war. Her sister did the same but her husband lived in Alpeana.

We seperated ways when she took a news reporting job in Memphis Tennessee. She wanted me to take a photographer job in Memphis but I had a good gig in Richmond Virginia. We did date long distance for a couple months. My dick just wasn't quite big enough to reach over the entire state of Virginia:eek: Just kidding...I did get to see Graceland, Sun Studios, get drunk on Beale Street and see Al Green preach on Sunday. She was and still is a good lady.
Anyway, I met my wife not long after and it all worked out for the better. We moved to South Florida and I have recently moved to North Texas.

The End.........................or is it?

^^Yeti
That is cool. When you live here you think it is an obscure little place never heard of, then you run across someone who knows where it is. It's cool. I met three ppl on pogo.com that are in my general area. Small world getting smaller.

[ericlee]

I was in p.t. formation in our field and we were doing accountability which requires us to stand at the position of attention while I platoon leaders give the report to the 1st sergeant.

It's pretty damn dark at 4:30 in the morning and I felt something crawling on my legs. I looked down and noticed I was standing on a red ant hill and they fucking started biting me and I yelled "FUCK!" and started swatting at my legs and jumping. That shit almost had me doing push-ups till I explained what happened.

Worse part is..... When pt was finished, I went to my room to shower and one of the motherfuckers bit me on the "head" which caused like a huge blister on it.

I remember hanging out with her Uncle and cousin drinking some brews when they visited. They regaled me with talk of the coldest weather in the US and the fact that they were the smallest television market in the country. They were good people and I enjoyed meeting them.

It gets cold here in the winter but I don't live by any of the lakes so I don't get the wind that they do However snow is another story. I'm glad you got a good first impression of michiganians. Most ppl relate from MI=Detriot. I grew up in Port Huron, 45 mins. from Detriot. When I was 7 we moved to Houston TX for 8 years. I loved TX but I would rather be right where I am to raise my kids. Little crime here. Beautiful summers here.

Well, I was born in Ohio between Columbus and Cleveland. I am a big Buckeye fan and I have always had bad feeling toward Michiganians but I will talk to them:D

I thought that was what earwigs did? Night.

[Lyman Zerga]

i dont mind them crawling around
aslong as they dont crawl in my bed i dont care
i just live with them
and i find them cute
my mum kills them though
but i try to save each one
like when an ant gets owned by water
i just get it on my finger and blow dry it lolz

[Yeti]

Move to South Florida and you will find the most evil ants in the world. FIRE ANTS. They will eat you alive. My wife had to carry an epi pen around because she attacked and had to go to the emergency room.

[Lyman Zerga]

ok ill move to florida to get eaten by ants

we only have that pussy small black ones in the houses

[enree erzweglle]

Are they carpenter ants or those little tiny brown ants?

Carpenter ants, you're going to need to either put up with them while they eat your house and then swarm in the early summer OR pay to have a professional come in every month to put diazinon down. You have to get the worker ants to carry that stuff back to the colonies to get to the source. Just spraying raid will kill maybe the occasional carpenter ant here/there but it won't get rid of them. They'll go back into the walls and continue to eat the wood from the inside out until it's time for the next swarm. That professional treatment is expensive, too. I hate carpenter ants because they're sneaky and crunchy.

If you're talking about those little brown ants, I put a trap or two up for a day or two and then they're gone. I also use a broom in the kitchen a bunch more than normal. That keeps their numbers down.

He said the fire ants are aggressive and mean.

I hope your wife is okay. I didn't know that you could get anaphylaxis from fire ants. Yikes.

[ma belle]

what about the flying ants? jeez they suck. what god would give those little fuckers wings and not me?;)

[monkey]

go to your nearest little italy or nearest china town. ask the little old ladies about the chalk. the chalk is illegal cause it causes birth defects (but you aint having babies) so USE IT. the chalk is the best ant killer ever.

edit: chalk isnt ant killer, i think though. you draw a chalk line on every opening of your house (outside of windows, doors, etc) and the ants cant cross that line. or something like that.

[beastieangel01]

these ants are the little tiny brown ants. They are everywhere. I tried the motels but they don't even bother with them, and they aren't even in LINES they are just scattered all over the place. I really wish they were not on my bed, so I can actually sleep in the bed sometime.

Other than that, I wouldn't care much. Oh, except when they go after my used underwear. I cannot even leave a pair on the floor for more than 30 minutes before they start swarming on them.

No vagina jokes please.

I'd try that chalk deal, but my parents would kill me if I put it on their nice new wood floors or newly painted wall. Unless it gets wiped off easily, then I might be able to talk them in to it.

[monkey]

it goes on the outside of your house! not inside. and i think you can rid of it with a rag with soap and water.

[beastieangel01]

oh okay. Hrm. We need to figure out where they are coming from. It's a pretty large house and on a split level so it could get tricky. Thanks for the tip, though :)

[ericlee]

Has anyone seen cow ants (http://lancaster.unl.edu/enviro/Images/Insects/VelvetAnt1BIG.jpg) before? Louisiana had these things crawling all over the place.

They look cool but my friend got bit by one and it left a welt the size of a 50 cent piece.

[enree erzweglle]

I normally let those little brown ones go but they sometimes pinch and fuck that. Plus, they go into my cat's food bowl and carry pieces of the hard food away.

I noticed that those brown ones come this time of the year (nearly like clockwork) and they come out only at certain times of the day.

I used to use these plastic white RAID traps and they worked but very slowly (or maybe not at all and the ants maybe just went back to where they go the rest of the year).

This year, I bought a new trap without realizing it. It's brown with a transparent top. I put it out for just about a day--the ants were all over and inside of that trap and that grossed me out, so I took it away. But then I noticed that the ants were gone. Completely. I haven't seen one since then and really, if this year is anything like previous years, they should still be around and about.

The traps were these (http://www.killsbugsdead.com/fop_dc_ab.asp). Good luck!

[fucktopgirl]

hell yea, thoses cow ants look scary! Ants dont bugg me really but thoses cow ants disturb me!

WHere i was living , back in bc, we where infested with ants, we try the liquid food killer stuff: you put drop of that where you see the path of the ants. Be carefull if you have a cat /dog , you dont them to lick this shit! It was really effective!

Oh God, what IS that? What's the scale on that thing and do they bite and are they furry--can you pet them? I am afraid now.

[ericlee]

They're pretty big. About 3/4 of an inch long and yeah, they bite pretty hard. My friend tried to pick it up and it crawled on his hand and it bit him almost dead center of his knuckles.

They do look kinda erm, cute enough to pet.

They're actually wasps but they're called red velvet ants or cow killers.

Here's male (http://entweb.clemson.edu/museum/webonly/local/lmisc/lmisc23.jpg).

They have wings and don't sting but they'll still bite which is what happened to my friend. He tried to pick up a female one and it didn't sting him but it bit him instead. I think he may be lucky because the sting would've been worse.

Something about that thing crawling and I imagine it to scamper. Oooh, I'm making my own spine tingle. I am such a baby when it comes to certain categories of bugs.

[beastiegirrl101]

growing up I remember that if we had ants / ant hills in the yard my mom would boil a pot of water and let us pour it on them. My dad would make the imatation ant shreiking noises.

[g-mile7]

cant stand them bastards

[adam_f]

My brother would pour gasoline down an anthill and light it on fire. I could've died a few times doing that shit.

i favour the aerosol and zippo lighter method. bad in tents though!

Fire Ants swarm injured animals (dogs, cats, etc) and will render them helpless. They will ultimately kill them and feast on their carcass. I watched a season finale of CSI produced by Quentin Tarrentino. It was similar to the film Saw. A man buried one of the investigators in a glass case full of Fire Ants. He would have been eaten alive but William Peterson saved the day.

that was the tarantino episode?? Whats up with Nick's hair this season? it makes me all like "ha ha ha...whats up with his hair!?!?"

when i was younger (maybe 6 or 7) there was a "puddle" of ants in front of my grandma's house. it was probably about 3 feet by 4 feet maybe 3 or 4 inches deep, I can't really remember the exacts since I was a wee little one. All ants. It was so hypnotic watching them move around, climbing on eachother and what not, that I took off my shoe and stepped in it barefoot cause i thought it would feel good. They did some serious pinching/biting. I yelled in pain and cried and asked my gramps to kill them to get revenge for me.

I hate ants.

[enree erzweglle]

That's a nice way to describe it: a puddle of ants. I always thought they looked like a spill of coffee grounds. What are they doing when they gather like that. A big blob of them and they're stepping around and on each other, scurrying around, carrying their dead from here to there. Some sort of ant feud.

When my kid was young, I forgot to put the plug back into his ant farm and a line of black federated ants moved in and killed the brown farmer ants and took over the farm and then abandoned it outright. Corporatization even in the ant world.

[Yeti]

I think it was Quentin's episode. I may be wrong it would not be the 1st time.

I have been in the process of moving and staying in a temporary apartment. The Central Time zone also has been a difficult adjustment. Once I get settled in my new house (Tomorrow the furniture arrives on the truck:D ) I will start recording the CSIs again. I have seen Nick's new hair. What consultant created that mess of a 'Do?

[Rock]

the same one that told him to keep that mustache for a while. I guess they are/were trying to hip Mr. Eades up.

hahaha!

when I was younger, I had to go pick up the dog poo in the backyard. So sometimes, to distract myself, I'd find a huge rock, pretend like I was an airplane, then yell BOMB! really loud and slam the rock on lines of ants over and over. I felt kind of bad but it was too much fun.

That and if I was in the tub and ants were around, I'd stick em in the water, let them almost die drowning, then save them. I'd watch them dry themselves, then I'd stick em back in the water and let them drown completely. :(

I, um, yeah. But anyways my point was that my brother drowns them too, in a cup. I said "aw that's mean, I did that too but it's mean!"

Now that I cannot even SLEEP ON MY BED because of them I told him "Kill em, KILL EM ALL!"

:( I still feel kind of mean but oh well.

[cosmo105]

my grandma used to have us pick up the snails in her backyard and she'd toss them into the street and we'd all watch when they got run over. she lived for the crunch.
