ant intel is likely reporting these boastful statements back to ant HQ, and i'm sure they're plotting a counteroffensive somewhere aimed at crushing our morale.
@bikepedantic The Terro stuff works well, since it eventually kills off the whole nest, and borax is not particularly toxic to humans. I like the outdoor ones since they spill less than indoor ones.
(That being said we have one set of ants that are studiously ignoring the terro, so maybe I've bred super-intelligent ants.)
meanwhile, the civilian population (my kid) is complaining of headaches, and blaming the chemical agents i have (allegedly) been deploying (indiscriminately, people are saying) against the enemy.
