Video at link - fascinating!

If you live in fire ant country, you gotta try this at home ;-)

If not, the PC nonsense might be entertaining...

Fire ants are not lovable. People do not want fire ant plush toys.

It's actually very, very difficult to get rid of an ant hill. This appears to be a 'greener' solution to insecticide or other methods of getting rid of the crawlies.

Oh, the hugemanatee!

I would have worried that the ant excavation would have turned laterally and I would be standing on the top, having the surface give way to my weight and I would then sink into the molten metal. Still, a nifty eradication method.

In south Georgia, you sit down outside without looking for fire ants first - just once.

I’m going to start saving up beer cans to melt down. I hate those little SOB’s and would LOVE to see them die horribly in the name of entertainment and art!

But, the same complaining a-holes are all for murdering an innocent baby inside a womb.

I wonder what it would look like if you did the same thing to a Democrat rathole. Not that I’d ever advocate such a thing ... it would be a waste of aluminum.

I watched the video and found it fascinating and awesome. We spend like 150.00 a year on fire ant killer. The idiots whining about it are absolute lunatics. Fire ants are Satan’s pets.

I have poured gasoline on them, waited a few minutes then threw a match.......The size of the ring made by the internal explosion is quite impressive. Kills the grass, though.

My mother came to visit us in south Florida many years ago...she was from the Northeast...

She was bite by a fire ant between her toes and she could not believe a tiny little ant actually could inflict so much pain

She insisted it had to be some "foreign exotic insect"that did it...

She wanted me to take her to the hospital thinking she was poisoned by said "foreign exotic insect"...

Needless to say, she alway swore closed shoes since then...

“I disabled comments because I’m sick of your bickering,” the individual wrote in the video’s YouTube description. “Also, I couldn’t get YouTube to stop sending me an email every time someone posted ‘What if I poured aluminum in your house’ for the 100th time.”

There's a mathematical expression that clearly shows how pouring aluminum on the uploaders home is not the same as doing so to an ant colony. It goes like this:

People > Dogs > Cats > Mice > Roaches > Fire Ants > Nothing
