In the morning when I get up and make my coffee, sometimes I spill a little sugar, which does not always get cleaned up properly.
So we started seeing ant in the kitchen.
Well, one day while watching an ant make off with a grain of sugar, I had an idea.
Maybe ants like coffee.
So I “spilled a little coffee next to the sugar.
Sure enough the next day there were ants lined up at the “coffee spot”
so we then had hyped up ants rummaging all over the kitchen.
Now for phase B!
Cold turkey!
I stopped spilling sugar and coffee.
Well now all my tiny friends have tiny little caffeine headaches and are growing increasingly moody and lazy.
So when the soldier ants(males) go back to the nest the queen and the rest of the female drones are also in severe caffeine deprivation.
the females ask “where is our coffee and sugar?”
Well the males just want to take a nap so they mumble something and go into the den.
Well this won’t do, so the females follow them in and commence to #itching.
Not a good idea!
so now there are no ants left.
self induced genocide.
Who says caffeine is a bad thing??!!

Might work with surgar ants, but you DO NOT want to piss off fire ants in any way.....
Kinda like mosquitos --- douse yourself with cheap liquor, sprinkle on sand. Skeeters, get in the booze, get ripped, and start throwing rocks at each other.
WHAT A HOOT! I am so glad I read this thread on a Monday morning. I needed that.Tamara
Boy, will you really be in for a SURPRISE when you find out what those ants have been up to.
Those soldier ants are busy building WMD's.
Well it has been nice knowing you.
Soooo funny!
Give ants some credit though; unlike us, they stick to whatever business is good for the bunch of em, and only fight with other tribes if they try to invade their nest. (didn't want to bring politics into this!)
Be an ant...
