Review from Sam L.

Ants always remind me of that ant chapter in the Book of Merlyn.
Oh well.
but sometimes, I'll put water on a bit of their trail and watch them "scatter" and then finally get back into formation. -

Those pesky little creatures.....the movie was cool and I will emasculate myself by using the word "cute" here because that's what it was, cute.
In reality, Ants suck.
Anyone who has been visited by these relentless little vacuum cleaners that mother nature thought up can relate. They are horribly annoying and just when you get rid of them one place, they show up at another. When it rains, they look for shelter, inside. When it's hot out, they look for water, inside.
Well, there is a cure.
Two tablespoons Boric Acid (can be found at any hardware store or drug store)
Two tablespoons Sugar
One cup water
Stir the crap out of it with a plastic spoon on very low heat on your stove in a glass measuring cup until it is all in solution, meaning it looks like just water. Don't worry, Boric Acid is not very acidic, just don't inhale any steam. In fact, keep it at a low enough temp so it doesn't steam. Pour that, preferably outside, on the ant trail.
It's like someone rang a dinner bell for those little creatures. They will eat it up, take some back and feed it to everyone else. End result, no more ants for you.
I have tried almost 10 different things to get rid of ants and this is the first that works perfectly. Good luck! -

Okay guys I had to bump you down a star. After our pinky promise you DID keep out of our house for over a year. But you invaded our bedroom and sent armies on our bed and stuff.
I'm sorry I had to put out an ant trap which you swarmed. I saw hundreds of dead bodies of your friends and family (RIP) on the piece of paper I set the trap on. Then 2 days later all of you guys were gone taking the bodies of your departed comrades with you. We humans could learn a lot about loyalty from you.
ZERO stars for me for having to resort to using a trap.
Please stay outside......pretty please?
Thank you.Listed in: My FAVORITE reviews, Lions, Tigers and Bears--oh my…, Unwelcome

I do not fear bees. I will chase one down and kill it with nothing but a paper napkin in my hand.
I don't fear spiders either, I can smack a couple of black widows around, no problem.
BUT ANTS.... you better get someone else cause they make my skin crawl and I can't focus. -

San Francisco is just a series of ant hills with houses on top. Bernal Heights? Giant ant hill. Twin Peaks? Giant double-wide ant hill. They are Moby Dick to my Ahab.
With appropriate apologies...

Yeah, they're harmless. Yeah, other critters are worse. Blah, blah, blah. They need to stay OUTSIDE. They don't just come in when it's wet, they'll come in when it's hot, too. They come in just to piss me off. I don't go burrowing around the foundation of the house when the weather changes, screw up THEIR house and have orgies in the cat food or sugar bowl.

I thought Woody Allen was exquisite. It's just a shame that this was released concurrently with "A Bug's Life", as it had a superior plot, animation, and characters, but "Bugs Life" had a more zealous ad campaign... ohhh, i thought you were talking about ANTZ.
Whatever dude. Ants are allergic to rubber bands. Spread a ton of rubber bands around the problem areas and the ants will begin to disappear. If that doesn't work, use Combat gel. It is slightly less ecologically sound, but it works incredibly well. -

I really, truly admire ants for their organizational skills and determination and large workforce. They are the Borg of insects, and it's kinda touching how they always come back to take away the dead.
But I must insist that they leave my house alone. Minus 1 star for eating the toddler's cookies before he could. Minus 1 star for making me put moats around the cat food bowls. Minus 1 star for the endless lines of them in my kitchen whenever it rains or whenever the sun shines. I never meant to live on top of an ant farm, but can't we all just get along? -

Ants aren't all that bad, I mean they don't bite, they don't gnaw at your foundation, they should grabs crumbs and run.
In the animal kingdom, there are far pesky creatures. When I was a kid we had a large infestation of carpenter ants when we moved to a new home. The parents were quite sure we had to destroy them, but really, I don't see there harm. -
