Dude, so how did you finally get rid of them???????????? Did you send them to my house?????
But today i bought Rentokil ant killer gel with 2 bait stations (cost: 3 pounds).
"The bait stations contain a specially formulated gel to destroy both the ants and their nests. Worker ants are attracted to the bait and carry it as food back to the nest killing the queen and the colony."
Pretty evil, eh?

Mind you, if the ants you have are those nasty little red pharaoh ants then just forget it and move offices.
Originally posted by murrowNo, not the giant mutant ones. Someone decide ants were smart but only low on the life chain because they died out or went dormant each winter. So he protected the ant hill and heated it or something and so the ants didn't start all over each year but kept going instead. There was something about dogs, too, but the dogs couldn't read.
the ants?

Sounds a great movie. Where can I buy my copy of the DVD?

which story? it's a collection. the story called city doesn't seem to be about ants.
city
* Not much of a plot in this story. There is some redeeming quality in some of the suppositions, though. Technological progress (hydroponics, the family helicopter) has made cities a dying societal phenomenon. Houses are mostly deserted; "squatters" now occupy some of them. Interesting idea, pushed further by supposing that without cities, there were no more logical targets for nuclear attack.

* Except for the Webster house, where Jenkins lives, Earth is entirely covered by the ant city. When the city's walls begin to crumble, Jenkins discovers that the ants have become extinct; there is nobody left on Earth. When a ship lands carrying robots that have long since left the Earth, Webster decides he has no reason to stay.
