Normally I'm on a "live and let live" policy...but not when it comes to Fire Ants. The Emperor and the Ordo Xenos would approve!

Wow, that's really freaking cool. I've seen this done with dead trees with termite nests in them, but ants have a lot more territory to work with.

Art!

Captain Killhammer McFighterson stared down at the surface of Earth from his high vantage point on the bridge of Starship Facemelter. Something ominous was looming on the surface. He could see a great shadow looming just underneath the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, slowly spreading northward. "That can't be good..." he muttered to himself while rubbing the super manly stubble on his chin with one hand. "But... on the other hand..." he looked at his shiny new bionic murder-arm. "This could be the perfect chance for that promotion." A perfect roundhouse kick slammed the ship's throttle into full gear. Soon orange jets of superheated plasma were visible from the space-windshield as Facemelter reentered the atmosphere at breakneck speed.

I've seen a similar thing on a documentary on Netflix, but with a different species of ants, and they poured concrete into a deserted ant colony. It ended up being huge, 5 feet deep, and just as wide in diameter. I'll have to look up the clip ad find it. Cool stuff for sure.

There is no sick pleasure in killing ants. Burning, boiling, microwaving are too good for their soulless little bodies. When the technology becomes available, I will gleefully purchase a tiny drone and send it deep into their nests, and delight in killing their queen remotely. Until then, I must content myself with poison, often several varieties before the hive is finally destroyed.

Bravo! If I had access to liquid aluminum, I'd do it too.

Yeah, fire ants are dangerous. Kill em all. Same with wasps, bees (you bleeding heart hippies that love bees can shaddap) and horse/deer flies. If it can bite or sting me in horrible ways, it must go.

As live and let live Briton I initially i wanted to say that's a bit cruel and unnecessary, who were the harming blah blah blah, but now what I really want to say is where do I get one?

Very handsome tomb of the ant people for the sideboard, a bit awkward if the giant space any people from Centuri Prime ever arrive but we can fall of that bridge when we get to it.

Well, fire ants are considered pests where I come from(Florida). This is a great thing, if we can turn a useless introduced pest species into an art form, I say more power to them.

I would say those fire ants died quicker than if poison were used. Those lil' bastards can kill someone, so I don't feel bad at all seeing them get turned into art:
