I put about 20 clock radios around the outside of my house. It keeps them from coming inside. Unfortunately, the neighbors keep calling the bomb squad.
Hopefully we won’t see hordes of locusts.
I remember rerouting a trip out West when Utah was experiencing an plague of crickets. Might have been 2010. People were sliding off the road because when smashed, the masses of crushed crickets created a slick goo on the road.
Or trenches filled with burning oil. (”Leiningen Versus the Ants”)
Great. Like the mosquitoes aren’t enough to deal with. Where can I buy a couple of aardvarks?
LOL I”ve tried the molten metal trick and about everything I’ve ever heard that might work. The only thing, and I mean the only thing, that I’ve found that eliminates them is a teaspoon or two of Amdro on the mound and the next day there is no activity.
Heat up 1/4 cup of Peanut Oil in a wok. Add 3 cups of Crazy Ants, and stir until they stop squirming. Add 1/4 cup of Black Bean Garlic Sauce. Serve immediately! Enjoy!
YOU didn’t fail me, DBP! I know... it tastes like chicken!
George Burns in drag?
Say what, sucka?
RE “Them!”
One of my favorite sci-fi movies when I was a kid. Giant ants... James Whitmore with the Thompson... flamethrowers in the sewer tunnels. It had everything!!!
“The Deadly Mantis” was another favorite.
Great “monster” movies, as I used to call them....
No, they run around like crazy, that’s why they call ‘em ‘Crazy Ants’. They run around in seemingly random circles like a bunch of cats..................
DDT...............thank you Rachel Carson....................
“Just destroying the homes that American ants won’t.”
Good one!
Being they have an exoskeleton that would be remove the shell and meat in them, meatsack. Like eating very small lobsters.
put them in a taco and eat them. The Aztecs would eat ant eggs, called escamole, in tortillas. Never tried them, but who knows?? Might be a new hit. Louisiana is eating nutria’s...Texas...maybe crazy ants!
Oh yeah...don’t read the link and look at the pics if you have a queasy stomach...(might pertain to our current Administration)

Crazy ants in Houston ping.
I likes to marinate em... in Bourbon. Especially, Woodford Reserve. yum!
Yea... they're DAMNED HARD to kill with a magnifying glass!
I've had good results using products from this outfit. Generally anything you can buy in a Lowe's type store (like Amdro) is worthless. The ants ignore it. These guys solved my carpenter ant problem when nothing else I tried bothered the little bastards.
