Sounds dreadful. Anyone loving the outdoors must be very disheartened with these pests.

Just buy dish soap and spray it all over your yard. The soap kills them instantly and they won’t stay where the soap is.

Last summer we had a bad case of carpenter ants...they scared the hell outta me cause I had never seen black ants that huge. We usually have small red ants and that’s it. But these suckers were HUGH they skeered me. They were hard to get rid of, they usually enter the home be eating their way through the wood. We solved the problem by removing any accumulation of water or leaks near our house. They are nasty boogers though.

Would becoming an anteater breeder be a good business to go into? I wonder what kind of pets anteaters make.... Might be better to rent them out than to sell them as pets. Otherwise they might starve when their work was done.

Orange oil usually works very well - kills ants and keeps them away and it’s not toxic.

The music is what stayed with me for a very long time. I just listened to it on Youtube and that “freaky” feeling came back quickly... lol...

These ants, like the fire ants, are attracted to electrical currents for unknown reasons. They wipe out a lot of electrical equipment.

We're like-minded on the solution! Wanna start a *rent-an-anteater* franchise?

This stuff works like magic for the black ants that invade northern California. Just put two or three of these where the ants are getting into the house, and within six hours they're gone.
