What you do is you drench some oyster crackers in gasoline, set a nice big pile outside of a nest, and when they swarm the pile, light that shit.
Or you make a nuke and drill it into an ant hive, everything will die.
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;29700196] They starve, ants without a queen is like a remote controlled plane without a pilot. They really don't have any free will.[/QUOTE] The queen doesn't serve any sort of "leadership" role at all. She just lays eggs. Ants just do their own cooperative thing, they don't take orders.
[QUOTE=Avager;29702099]Ahhh, I did watch all these videos yesterday at 1 am finished at about 3 am by downloading SimAnt :D ..good oldie game (Downloaded right with SimEarth... ahhhh memories came back to life) - both are freeware from 1991.[/QUOTE] Oh my god i still have Sim Ant that game was the shit. I kept going into the wall socket. [editline]8th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=17th Squid;29706218]The queen doesn't serve any sort of "leadership" role at all. She just lays eggs.

[quote=Wikipedia]The term "queen" is often deceptive, as the queen ant has very little control over the colony as a whole. She has no known authority or decision-making control; instead her sole function is to reproduce.[/quote] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_queen[/url] Hive minds are from science fiction.
These are army ants, otherwise known as the scariest motherfucking ants ever. They don't have nests, they're just one gigantic, moving, pissed-off-as-hell legion of psychopaths. They don't stop ever, they just keep looking for food, which they will utterly swarm all over. Army ants have no special toxins or the ability to explode themselves, there are just a lot of them, and all of them are pissed off and right behind the small but still deadly scouting force the swarm routinely sends out.
I now feel incredibly itchy.
Woah what the fuck, it's like a ant gang bang/murder [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/WeaverAntsAgainstRedAnt.JPG/800px-WeaverAntsAgainstRedAnt.JPG[/img]
IMO, ants are one of the coolest animals in existence.

Would suck to go for a swim and upon coming up for air, you are welcomed by a large ant raft.
