They’ll have to fight the roaches and rats for it.
I have a billion fire ants of my own in my yard.
Don’t be greedy… everyone having a pic nic will receive their own allotment.
Meh. This is just an evil government plot. They are using this to bring the word, “quadrillion” into the common vernacular so we won’t be so paralyzed by its upcoming use in articles regarding the economy, national debt and taxes.

Now do uncles!
It helps to learn that the number of possible, unique games of chess possible exceeds the number of atoms in the observable universe.
“Scientists estimate that Earth contains 7.5 sextillion sand grains. That is 75 followed by 17 zeros. That’s a lot of sand.”

Roaches and rats would be extinct shortly after humans are extinct, since both roaches and rats are species that have adapted to live as parasites to human civilization. Once we are gone, they lose their ‘free lunch’.
Ants would continue blissfully unaware that anything has changed.
How much methane and carbon dioxide does this huge biomass emit in the process of living and dying? Bet it greatly exceeds all the carbon dioxide and methane emitted by all the cattle herds, sheep flocks, confinement-housed swine and even humanity put together.
Yet apparently there is no call for the regulation of ants and their numbers.
Well, that explains why the fire ants and others in the yard are such a nuisance, like Mongol hordes constantly moving or on the attack. The little SOBs have an even greater advantage in numbers than I had realized.
12 million tons. How many greenies will that feed for a year?
Q. How many ants live on Earth?
A. None. Ants live in the earth.
Cant.....................
LOL
Until we learn to communicate with bees and ants and colonial insects, we can forget about communicating with extra planetary aliens
I’ve had that same thought.
We can’t even talk to chimpanzees, gorillas, dolphins and whales, that are supposedly as intelligent as we are, beyond a few simple commands and phrases.
If we can’t have a ‘talk’ to these creatures, how will we ever ‘talk’ to ones from another planet?.................
