- inactive, on 12/03/2008, -7/+287I refuse to scared of ants. I have a magnifying glass and a lot of patience. Bring it you little bitches.
- groo68, on 12/04/2008, -2/+245One month i saw ants in my house, one or two every few days, nothing too big. I got rid of them, hoping no more would follow this time. After about a month i saw three in my room a day, big black carpenter ants. I made sure to have no food in my room, or any other garbage. Then i was pretty sure i had got them all.. i was wrong. The next day there were about 20 ants coming out of my room when i got home, they seemed to be coming from my bed. i lifted up my blanket, and there were 10 or so. That scared me, then i took off my sheet, revealing a whole colony of big ***** carpenter ants that started running everywhere. after i took the sheet off they had hid in every corner of my room. I used a whole can of raid killing every last one. these days when i feel a crawling itch on my leg i slightly panic. sometimes i see ants out of the corner of my eyes. I hate ants.
- chanop, on 12/04/2008, -0/+231How the ***** did ou sleep with a colony of ants in your bed?
- eggraid, on 12/04/2008, -6/+167I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
Go paste! - MaxK, on 12/04/2008, -1/+130All it takes is one cloudy day...
- existentialduck, on 12/03/2008, -1/+117One time, when I was little I saw the aftermath of an ant war in my backyard - it looked like a mini-version of something like the end of a battle in Braveheart or something! They werent just an ant colony that all happened to die - I looked at some in my microscope (what a nerd huh lol), and there were two different kinds all chopped up... Ants are hardcore!
- apackofmonkeys, on 12/04/2008, -0/+70These ant-decapitating flies are our only hope now:

- X9001, on 12/04/2008, -0/+64Whoa ... baggage
- geoffmenegay, on 12/03/2008, -3/+62ants are awesome. they totally took over my terrarium in 3rd grade.
- goldenballs21, on 12/03/2008, -6/+65And we were afraid of extraterrestrials
- chuckDontSurf, on 12/04/2008, -2/+59Same thing happened to me. Only it was polar bears.
- drewmacphee, on 12/04/2008, -0/+56I can't believe it took 11 posts!
- jebus123, on 12/04/2008, -3/+58I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords.
Had to say it. - geoff1210, on 12/04/2008, -0/+53personally, I would have burned the bed. and the house.
- groo68, on 12/04/2008, -0/+51I fell asleep elsewhere the two days before i discovered it, they must have done most of their colonizing then.
- Obermeister, on 12/04/2008, -1/+45Remember when killer bees were going to conquer the world and kill us all? Yeah, I didn't think so.
- richmomz, on 12/04/2008, -1/+42If they eat fire ants then they can invade Texas anytime! I'm tired of those little ***** biting the hell out of me every time I mow the lawn.
- LOGNATR, on 12/04/2008, -1/+42The Jonas Brothers are the next pests scheduled to roll through Europe.
- MtheoryX, on 12/04/2008, -1/+40Nuke it from space...it's the only way to be sure.
- harronoob, on 12/04/2008, -1/+38The AntAgonizer strikes again.
- brandita, on 12/04/2008, -2/+36To quote a bad made for tv movie called "The Hive",
WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE WITH ANTS! - tehjames, on 12/04/2008, -1/+32Hey everyone, lets do what everyone did before the media was so scary and not give a *****.
- dbissig, on 12/04/2008, -1/+30Agreed. Clicked just to see when this ref was made.
- mdjohnson1, on 12/04/2008, -0/+28Those ants have a Napoleon complex ... thus they are invading Europe.
- DickyT83, on 12/04/2008, -1/+26One time, I had set a can of soda on the window sill in my room as I watched a movie. I would gradually take a sip and put it back near the window. I started to feel some crumbs in my mouth after every sip but figured it was just food from earlier or something. I eventually looked when I was grabbing the can and saw a plethora of ants walking in and out of the can, finally realizing that those crumbs weren't in fact morsels of food, but ants. It was awful.
- OtterStratton, on 12/04/2008, -1/+26This is terrifying stuff.
- Bawk, on 12/04/2008, -1/+25Same thing happened to me except it was spiders... and a light fixture instead of a bed.
- twon, on 12/04/2008, -1/+24that was cool and informative!
- 3sicasity, on 12/04/2008, -2/+25i love the random "ants rule" in the middle of the paragraph.
- Harabeck, on 12/04/2008, -0/+22My dad calls them "***** ants" but I just call them fire ants.
- Barackalypse, on 12/04/2008, -0/+21I fail to see the problem, what difference does it make to me if its the native species of ants around my house or a foreign species of ant around my house? Ants is ants, unless they eat concrete, in which case we've got trouble.
- stopple, on 12/04/2008, -1/+21This vid was more interesting than the main article
- megamod, on 12/04/2008, -0/+18Same thing happened to me in brazil with some red ants under my bed.
Also later in a separate apartment, one day my parents were going through cabinets and realized they had an ant colony living in a coffee pot.
Sneaky lil' b'tches... - NikoKun, on 12/04/2008, -0/+18Wow... Now there's an OLD movie I doubt many people will see the reference too. lol
- Frostek, on 12/04/2008, -0/+17Skinner: Well, I was wrong; the lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death. - withoutamartyr, on 12/04/2008, -0/+17At least they're not super-intelligent radioactive waste-covered ants, because man that's a dangerous combo!
- GalacticRerun, on 12/04/2008, -2/+18I came in here especially to digg that from whoever I saw it from first.
- SDR3veNG, on 12/04/2008, -0/+14I was hoping for a pic of such a Super-Ant :-(
- DirtyVicar, on 12/04/2008, -0/+14I see that Lasius neglectus doesn't sting, so by god we need these things in Texas. I'll die happy if I see the eradication of fire ants in this state. Bring 'em on.
- Garofoli, on 12/04/2008, -0/+14... We were?
- hufman, on 12/04/2008, -0/+13Except with broken heading style so that it blends in perfectly with the rest of the text.
- MemorabIename, on 12/04/2008, -0/+13I am the ant-slayer... but be warned that there will always be traces; some scars never disappear. I get ants every Summer, and every Summer I devise new ways to slaughter them or impede their advancement: boric acid and corn syrup, bleach, vinegar, cayenne, tobacco tea, commercial pesticides, poaching them by pouring teapots of hot water over their hills, and anything else I believe could be effective. These methods will work. You will be a killing machine. However, Winter is now upon us.
Four score and a few hours ago, I was making some hot chocolate. It was delicious, though it had those little flecks of "unmixed cocoa" floating atop. SPOILER: They were ants.
These are the times that try men's souls. - evenstarred, on 12/04/2008, -0/+12No... No it didn't...
- laresek, on 12/04/2008, -1/+12It was all Doctor Lesko's fault...
- garbageday, on 12/04/2008, -0/+11It's Those! in Fallout 3
- Zippo, on 12/04/2008, -1/+12Time to stock up on Raid.
- chancesarent, on 12/04/2008, -0/+10After reading this I think i'm gonna have trouble sleeping in my bed too....
- return2sender, on 12/04/2008, -4/+14That 'ant' my problem... yet.
- geoff1210, on 12/04/2008, -1/+11Well a better point is that we really can't control the ecosystem anyways. If the ants move in, they move in. The system will adapt around them, and things will continue on.
