nonviolent ant removal

[Trichocereus Panza]

Any of you cool hippies out there know what to do? I have kind of an infestation, but I don't wanna squash 'em.:rasta:

Actually I tried that for a little while but then I realized 1) it wasn't helping, 2) I felt guilty, 3) ants don't bother me outside, so why should inside be any different? They have the same right to life as me.

So for a while not caring was working, but they do get kind of annoying in here, especially when I'm lying in bed at night getting tickled and I lift up my shirt and there's a little guy crawling on my belly lol. So coexistence is working out for the time being, sort of, but I feel like they would be happier outdoors anyway you know, so how do I return these guys to there home???

I'd agree with you, except that an ant's sole purpose is to eat your well-valued food, and annoy the hell out of you. Picture it: you vs. the ant. You're minding your own business, and an ant decides to climb the relative fifty miles up to your neck and bite you while his family nonchalantly devours your picnic.

Is Raid ant spray nonviolent enough? :)

[Big Calhoun]

Well, you said non-violent. So much for an M-80 down the ant burrow. Here, we have fire ants. While I agree all creatures have the same rights to life as we do, I have no love for fire ants. Bleach down the mound does wonders.

[lateralus]

Hey, if a bear's about to make a sandwich out of my ass, I'd excercise my right to explode his face.

[Trichocereus Panza]

lol.

None of the ants have bit me or anybody else, they're a relatively nonviolent form of ants :thumbsup: All they do is tickle you.

Fire ants sound like they suck; the ones around here aren't too bad. They ARE probably after the food though.

Well they've been invading my house every summer for the past every since I lived in my house (I know that didnt just make sense but meh, lol). So I dont have any mercy for them..I take a inscent with my trusty lighter and light it...take a hit of the joint and burn them "GAH!" Then I leave them there so the dead's fellow colleagues can see it and see that I set an example that it's dangerous to invade my fuckin room! :mad:

[OtterPop]

i had this problem recently too man, think its cause of the heat. Under my couch are all kinds of goodies that they were gettin into. For starters clean everything really really well, even go as far as to steam clean. Then try and find out how they are gettin in, mine were gettin through a tiny crack in the window sealent. I killed alot though, maybe 50-100, but its cause the thought of them all over me when i was sleepin didnt sit right with me. Good luck!

[lateralus]

Well, you can do what Ozzy Osbourne did.. That'd definitely get rid of a few of them.

[BobBong]

they can be a pain...you can try ant traps and stuff but if it's a true "infestation".. well... you might wanna look into something a little more premanent than ant traps..
Good luck, i'm sure they're more of a pain than a problem...

All i can say is be glad they're not bullet ants.

Burn your house down.

[orangeman]

Burn your house down.

Thats even better than the method I posted that I use :).

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! You forgot a step. You're supposed to put their lifeless bodies on the end of a toothpick. Kind of like a trophy of the dead. That serves as the warning for all who dare follow!

haha, what did he do bite their heads off onstage or something? :p Actually, I've eaten a number of ants in my day, but they don't taste too good. A bit like battery acid or something.

And yeah, actually I have heard somewhere or other that burining a bunch of ants and then placing their bodies around the perimeter of where you don't want them, keeps the rest away. Sounds like a chore though.

[lateralus]

Nah, he snorted a line of ants once. :)

[friendowl]

soapy water works good

[OtterPop]

the ants i killed an left as a warning disappeared, i later found another ant draggin the dead one, now they both are dead

[lateralus]

Draw a line of chaulk around a group of ants. They're stuck forever.

[Skink]

Got a picture,I would like to know what kind of ants they are...

[orangeman]

Ah yes!, Damn! How could I forget that step :confused:

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

ants dont like spicy, if you know where they are coming from, drop a bunch of chili powder over their entrance, and they might not want to leave.


apparently capcium has a numbing effect on their bodies or something like that, whatever it is, they dont like it and will want to leave. but it takes a lot, i mean not a lot at a time, but you gotta keep with it untill they get the picture.

[Trichocereus Panza]

how do i locate their entrance, find one and follow him around throughout the day? lol

they probly have lots of different ways of getting in anyway

I use to stand over the ant hill and say "hey!!! come out and fight like a man..
..Ant :mad: And then i would buy a box of alpahbet cereal and spell the word , Ant.., and eatem'
One of my proudest moments in life was being able to outsmart an Ant.

dai*ma:stoned:

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

fuck yeah i love you diama! :D

[NightProwler]

if you have a window that opens out onto a roof, you can up a piciniccc out there and open the window.

[da haze meister]

mad ants in my kitchen
we got this thing
that has this jelly
and the ants bring the jelly to the queen
and it kills her and the whole colony

[Trichocereus Panza]

And then i would buy a box of alpahbet cereal and spell the word , Ant.., and eatem'
HAHA, wtf :confused: :thumbsup: :stoned:
You are my hero man you are awesome.

The picnic on the roof was another fanciful idea. I like all of the absurd suggestions on this thread even if none of them really actually help with my problem.

I haven't noticed any in my room in the last couple hours, so maybe they're all being scared away by the bad karma generating from the violent thoughts in this thread:D

[Jeff Spicoli]

non-violent, oh my good lord, LOL
