I just spent around an hour cleaning my office area. Ants took over. They left the new box of cookies untouched… they ignored the empty soda glass… [Yes I said soda.] They were living in the surge protector! It was the last thing I picked up. I thought since I was down there I should take the time to move it to a better outlet… hundreds of ants fell out of it when I picked it up. YIKES.
After a few shakes, I realized that there was a never ending supply of ants that would continue to fall out of it and scatter… so I trashed it. I’m not messing with an electrically altered ant army. They were obviously set on world domination, and my surge protector was Head Quarters.
A lone straggler just marched across my desk. I flicked him to oblivion. I hate ants.
I’m putting this in the “rants” category… simply because ants rhymes with rants and I’m not anymore creative than that.
Ew. Bad ants.
Probably radoioactive, too.

Oh, definitely radioactive… We’re talking Teenage Mutant Ninja Ants…

Ants must be attracted to electrical fields. At the ranch, the timer that ran the water pump for the pond out front of the houses, was always quiting because ants had crawled in between the contacts. This caused a film that eventually stopped the flow of electricity. I was unable to seal the box enough to keep them from being drawn in to their deaths. A neat ant killing device if your not worried about pumping water.

I seem to recall something like this happening in a sponge at your house as well. Funny stuff happens at your house. Okay, not funny to you, but very funny to the rest of us.
