against ants - little black fekkers! I loathe, hate and despise them. They have NO use whatsoever - do they pollinate anything? do they buggery!

I am sat on the sofa with caustic evilness in a spray can. For those who are wearing goggles and protective clothing I have the ulimate weapon of choice - a flip flop.

Anyone know where I can buy an industrial size can of Agent Orange?

A few years ago our kitchen was invaded by hoards of ants, they came out of the walls, and only these baits worked. Good luck!

They help turn the soil, they consume dead plant matter, they are a food source for many animals and, as predators, they keep some species in check, thus balancing the ecosystem. As long as their own numbers are kept in check they are classed as important environmental engineers.

You did ask. Now go and say sorry to each and every one of them.

And they are the strongest creature in the world are they not?

Strongest creature on earth is Lemmy. Fact!

Don't thread on an Ant - he's done nothing to you!

And you know why? Because eco-terrorists like you have systematically eradicated the anteaters' primary source of food. Who's to say that if you and your ilk had not been so hell-bent on destroying the ants then Lincoln would not have a flourishing anteater population? For shame, sir - for shame!

I think you mean ma'am not sir...

Anyhoo, I have a slug problem. Bastards are eating my potato crop.

Have you ever seen one try to lift an elephant? Strongest relative to their size perhaps but most animals are stronger than an ant. Even Nick Clegg.

No but it does have birds. And hedgehogs. And does Heston Blumenthal have a restaurant there?

If you used the 'search function' you could look up a thread which was something along the lines of things that you hate. You would find that Debaser hates

Birds - flappy fekkers
Frogs - jumpy fekkers
and
Ants - little black fekkers



As for hedgehogs, they can eat slugs instead.

Yeah but they keep the ants down. Thought that was what you wanted.

It was on the news I think. This is what happens if you don't kill ants as quickly as you can.

Do you happen to live in a nuclear testing zone? if you do, might I suggest that, rather than concentrating on killing the ants, you get the f**k out of there and buy a house somewhere less dangerous? Oh, and you're probably gonna need chemo.

OOOh no. I remember the tv campaign, we were most certainly advised to 'STAY IN YOUR HOME'

The TV campaign about the giant ants? Or the TV campaign about how to survive a nuclear attack, which included advice such as putting duck tape on the windows? Yeah, that'll work.

Don't underestimate the power of advertising

Do you know of anybody who has been attacked by an irradiated giant ant?

There you go then.

Heh you sound like Darth Vader. "Do not underestimate the power of the dark side."

Are you saying that advertising persuaded irradiated giant ants not to attack?Because if you are then I think you may be overestimating their ability to work the TV.

sturfaq - the tv was already on they just noticed the advert whilst passing. It was a summer's day the window was open.
