| No this has nothing to do with Dave Matthews, or his fans. But tell me a more frustrating day than waking up finding ants all over your apartment, and thousands of ants that got into your freezer somehow, leaving piles of dead, frozen ants in all of your food. Then try cleaning it all up. Seriously, what is the purpose of an ant???????? |

Ants like that really suck. But I'd rather have ants in my apartment than roaches, bees, scorpions, etc.
Ants are kind of cute. I don't mind them...in small amounts...and not in my food. Unless they're fire ants. Fire ants suck real hard. |

Ants outside my home, wonderful creatures. I try not to step on them, I sometimes admire their anthills, and see how incredibly smart they are for something so small.
Ants inside my home . . . say your prayers.
One time I got them in my bedroom, and I was laying down reading at night, noticing tons of things on the floor by my bed were moving. Ants everywhere! It took a few days to get them all, but it gives me the shivers thinking about them crawling on me while I am sleeping *shivers*. |

I've had carpenter ants, man...the big ones. They sting.
Ants are cool outside-I watched two ants dragging a dead cricket to their tunnel, one would literally scout a path around a blade of grass, over a stick or something, run back to the other and they both would drag it along that path. Then I got a magnifying glass. You know, to see them closer with. |

| The coolest things about ants I've seen is how they take care of their dead. A couple years ago, ants found their way into my place and found a bit of food under my bed. There was like a 30 or 40 foot long line of them, so I got rid of the food and ran a grill lighter down to the line of ants (hardwood floors) to rid myself of them. I didn't have a chance to sweep up the charred corpses because I had to go to work, but by the time I'd gotten home they were all gone, the live ants had drug out the bodies of the dead ones! |

let me tell you something about ants.
summer of '96. my brother, my cousins and i are repainting my grandmother's garage. we also decided to clean out the inside. the ceiling was actually bars, just wooden beams, and atop them rested a clutter of old crap. so before we paint we take all that shit out. as we take more stuff out, we notice an inordinate amount of large black ants. i find a baseball bat that is riddled with holes. so i do the reasonable thing and smash it against something. this resulted in an ant-spray. it's just as i'm stomping the little fuckers that my brother takes out one of several rolls of some kind of roof paper. he unrolls it and sure enough, it's a clusterfuck of ants and eggs. i think it was a nest. the queen was there. we take down the other 6. all have the same thing. at this point my entire world is ants. they're crawling all up in the rafters, all over the floor and even the walls. all of us just start stomping ants and their eggs. my grandmother comes back with a can of raid and sprays a little bit. it starts raining dead, curled ants. but eventually that stops and the ants keep coming. repeat. when it's all over, we're cover in dead ants. we could no longer see the floor. i'm pretty sure all the raid gave me a disease. we're also covered in what i can only describe as "egg juice."

| Ladies and gentlemen, er, we've just lost the picture, but, uh, what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has been taken over -- "conquered", if you will -- by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive earth men or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves. |

| I remember watching a stupid sci-fi movie when I was young. It was some alien space ants. There was this giant ant head in the sky looking on everything. No body, just a head. Really lame and stupid as hell! Could have been good for mystery science theater. |

Was this from memory...? If so, very impressive... |

| I have to be honest, I knew the last bit "And I, for one..." from memory, and I knew the rest in terms of paraphrasing, but to save time and energy I just cut and pasted from a script site. |

I remember watching that episode and almost soiling my pants from laughing so hard. Classic.

| Well I had my apt. fumigated this morning, and now I have piles of dead ants all over the place. YUCK!!! It's so disgusting that I'm going to have to be a snob and have a cleaning crew come tomorrow and scrub my apt from top to bottom. Hopefully this will all be the end of this nonsense. |

Hope you are rid of your ants and now have a clean apartment!
I pretty much hate bugs....unless they are outside and not bothering me, or look interesting or beautiful, but again, they MUST be outside. I particularly hate spiders and I have had several in my house lately. We get those big brown ugly ones. I know spiders are good, but again, they have to stay out of my house!
As for ants, I had a problem in the spring with really tiny ants. Took a while to get rid of them. If they are on the floor, thats bad enough, but when they climb on my counters, that I can't tolerate! I would have totally freaked out if I had them as bad as you did! I simply can't imagine that many ants. Yuck! |
