well, this morning i began my mission of search and destroy. i checked my honey drops and found that they had taken the bait, i followed the line back to their nest where i paused for a moment simply to check if this was INDEED the entry way to their nest. i concluded that was their nest and decided that my plan of attack was simple- rinse and repeat, like shampoo ONLY WITH BOILING HOT WATER!! MUAHAHAHAHAA!! i rinsed and repeated three times, twice with a kettle of boiling water and for the grand finale, a whole pot of hot liquid! i discovered that their nest spanned about a 4X2 foot area AND DOUSED THE WHOLE THING! after the first assault i observed mass confusion among the ants returning to the colony and while a couple dozen or so of them were busy running around in circles, i took my lighter and burned some of their legs and antennaes off, leaving them still alive AND WRITHING IN AGONY!!! after the water had dried i noticed that ants were still around the colony whole, possibly exiting in search of the attacker who KILLED ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! so i quickly boiled another kettle and poured it in the same spot, i did not see any ants leaving their probably now dead colony, but just because i hate them so much i boiled a pot full of the liquid that was their demise and completely drenched the surrounding area, taking care of any survivors. i am about 90% sure that their queen and any queens-in-waiting are dead and just about the rest of the colony, here are some pics of the war i just waged with the ant scum! they started it and i finished it theres also a much better pic of my now dead enemy, it wasnt dead when i took the picture tho; in fact, i took that picture before the battle started
