On the bright side, the survivors may well mutate and come back in a few years for a visit..........

OK, I have a question for Friday night amusement.
I went to get cat food out of the pantry for my kitty and it wasn't sealed properly so hundreds of ants got in it. I didn't want to throw it away so I decided to nuke them. I set it on high for 30 seconds. They went crazy but still alive. I repeated, still alive. I tried 1 minute, still alive. Another minute, still alive. (This is a brand new Mocrowave) In total, 7 1/2 minutes. The bag melted and some of the ants were sitll alive! I think they may take over the world.
Expect a phone call from PETA tomorrow. ;^)
Vinegar.
knocks em out, then flush
Sounds like a cruel way to try and kill the ants.
Ants can survive several minutes of the nuke. I hate admitting knowing this is true. But it is.
Sorry but your comment brought this little bit of small screen triviality to mind. If only ants were 6 feet tall.

Mickylee I think this is the funniest vanity I’ve ever read on FR!
Spray em with 409. I use it on spiders.
I’ll bet if you used a conventional oven set 500 or higher, you’ll finish the job (or they’ll finish you).
I use hairspray for spiders. Extra Hold.

We did have a couple of glasses of wine before we tried our experiment. We are still cracking up!
LOL
I couldn't resist!
the little suckers are in my front yard....messes with my chippin golf balls
And you know this how?
I’d rather not discuss it. I had to kill it. There was one option. It died very fast. Sounded like a balloon deflating.
Oh, I dunno. As kids, we had great fun with large magnifying glasses and anthills, cherry bombs and anthills, etc. 'Course, I'd never do that as a mature adult......
THEM!
HAR!!!! Coffee out the nose!!!
What a mess. Lucky I missed the keyboard.
Yet each and every time, the ant will survive the fall. In fact, I hasten to add that they would also probably survive a fall from an airplane at 20,000 feet but I have never actually conducted such an experiment for myself.
