They're everywhere around here, but since the latest rains I notice they're getting into the siding on my house. I hear Terro bait works well, but I also hear they aren't as susceptible to bait as other ants. I thought I'd see if others have any information about experience they've had dealing with the critters.
Build a mini-circus and let people pay for the ants showing their acrobatic skills. Call it Cirque du Acrobat Antes or something. That way both sides profit.
No, not crazy ants. Acrobat ants. No, as you can see, SwollenlyDerp, the thread title labels them as pests, therefore I will be attempting to rid my dwelling of the invasive twerps. As for Ant du Soleil, while they are called acrobat ants, the only trick that I see they can do is raise their abdomen in the air when they get mad, and invade my space, leaving traces of their colonizing beneath them. As you can imagine, neither is particularly entertaining.... that said, what would you pay for a ticket? They are a pretty common occurrence in the Lone Star State, apparently, but I just wondered if anyone had any insight on what works best, or even tales of woe, regarding the critters.
I don't know anything about acrobat ants but A&M says they need to be treated like carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are not fun. http://urbanentomology.tamu.edu/ants/acrobat.html http://www.pestworld.org/pest-guide/ants/acrobat-ants/ Most home improvement stores will have a couple of products made for carpenter ants and all purpose insecticide dusts. I would also do a perimeter Permethrin treatment if you already haven't done that. You might want to hire an exterminator if you are having serious trouble with them, it sounds like they can be destructive.
Well, you're sitting on a gold mine, Trebek!!!! 1. Acrobat ants 2. ????? 3. ????? 4. PROFIT Team Yung-T
looks like this business might take a while to see a profit, all I see are costs so far. Oh, and two requests for tickets, amirite?
And then he can buy land off of one of Costa Rica's islands and start a new attraction with actual real living breathing dinosaurs. The he just simply hires three professionals in their respective scientific field to approve the safety of the park in order for the investors to go ahead not shut down the park. Two of the professionals can actually be smart and the park will be right up their alley but one of them is going to be an idiot who talks about chaos and crap.... He can call the attraction "Jurassic Acrobatic Park".......... We're gonna make a fortune with this place...
Don't know if we'll be able to create real dinosaurs, but your idea has got me thinking....what about a mini Ant island? Or we breed only the strongest and largest acrobat ants and will come up with giant acrobat ant population that will have their own Ant country on an island. But what if the government finds out about them and uses our Ant brehs as soldiers.
If we are going to breed a new kind of acrobat ant that is going to be bigger and superior to any other ant on this planet then we must keep it top secret. What we have to do is buy them costumes that makes them look like dinosaurs. The ants are going to have a procedure of putting on the costume every time the alarm sounds for incoming planes or boats. We can call this place Antmerica...
Brilliant idea. We now need other CF brehs to raise enough money for the necessary equipment and tools. Please make this happen, ClutchFans.
