I have caught a couple of episodes of Shark week but what I really want to see is Monsters Inside of Us about the parasites......

 

[maplesky7]

i've seen it.... it's disturbing.

 

[Ducklove334]

so i sqwashed him for not making up his mind.

PFFFFFFFFT!

!!!!!


someones inpatient! lol

i can just imagine someone with a magnifying glass lookint at an ant walking in circles...something I would do


were they CIRCLES or ovals?, if they wern't walking in perfect circles, then they did need to be squished

 

[maplesky7]

it wasn't perfect circles.

and i didn't need a magnifying glass... even my cats sit there and watch them from afar.

they are the big black ones...huge.

Did you just call me an IN-patient... I am not!!! I'm an out-patient... for good behavior.

Were you an INpatient because you watched Monsters Inside of Us and became disturbed?!!!

Just kidding and no harm meant!

What kind of ant granules do you have?

Eggsforsale, you have a truly brilliant name, but that aside, I have the ants in the dishwasher thing too. But my dishwasher is built into the wall so sticks out the back (onto the patio and covered by a panel), so I can see sky right where the door hinge thing does what door hinges do. The ants come through there, into the dishwasher for whatever reason.... come to think of it, I bet they find food in the filter or somewhere in there. Mmmmm, I'm getting hungry....

Anyhow, Green Light Many Purpose Powder, plop it on the line, everyone outside comes in and dies rolling around in a little ball and you get to sit and eat popcorn and wring your hands together (bwahaha!), and all the ones that have already passed by will come back soon enough with their ill-gotten gains and they will end up rolling around in a white-coated ball, too.


Maple, I thought the ones you described are Army ants? IMAX terrified me with them last summer. And they did the pick up the dead guy and look all heroic thing.
I have carpenter ants, and they don't form lines, or work in a cohesive unit, and they HATE light and will scramble off VERY quickly, but if you do manage to squish one, they're so plump they pop like a tick. MMMMMM, getting hungry again! They like lollipops and horrible little kids that leave them stuck to the side of mommy's couch. And melted popsicles that have dried to a sticky mess. They can't be in your house. They're ALL HERE!!!

But, yes, you ruined their line. When I vacuum up an ant-crusted potato chip, the line just goes crazy. They can't figure out their purpose any more and desperately try to figure it out before Queen Ant comes out and gives them a good old butt-kicking.
