I killed 3 ant hills in my backyard.
They moved 6 feet to the right and made one huge anthill.
I killed the huge anthill and they moved 3 feet to the left.
I'm out of bugspray and I think they know it! π
I have a 2 large families of ants which emerge from two tiny holes at the base of my house. They come out in the sunshine then go back in late afternoon. I used to pour boiling water in the hole to kill them but have more respect for them now. They’re not doing any harm so I’ll leave them be knowing that they will soon depart on what I call Flying Ant Day. Today a juvenile flying ant came out to discuss the forthcoming plans for lift off with the senior worker ants. I couldn’t make out exactly when the date was but do know that once the command has been given to fly every winged ant will be off. I think the team of workers then disband until the next breeding season? They will go their own solitary way and take a long holiday.
