LOL!!! you gotta love mother nature... any spider that can stand on its hind legs and show its fangs in anger has definitely got my undivided attention & respect!
Despite all the dangerous wildlife in Australia, it is still a country on the top of my bucket list, I have always admired your country... I had an opportunity to work there for 5 years in the 90's but had to decline due to my family situation. Today I look back with much regret...
In Australia, there is an ant which I lovingly refer to as, the Red Bull. It can jump from the ground to my waist (approx. 75cm) and have fangs the size of my fingernail...
@skullnic Nope, in fact, I was bitten by one on my first day of school. Australia is also home to the world's most dangerous animal, the Funnel-Web spider. Angers easily, has huge fangs, and it's poison is able to kill in less than 10 hours. If you're in Aus, and there's an angry-ass spider standing on its hind legs, run the fuck away.
I had a few ants (like 20) and I sealed cracks with clay and caulk and sprayed a shit load of bug spray. I dare those bastards to invade my house again.
@J10rulez Can't find info in any book or on the net on scorpion ants? maybe its called something different but yeah, sounds like they have some crazy ants down there... they are quite viscious. Africa has some of the worlds most aggressive insects too... Having said that, there is a reason why they are mostly there and not in North America/Canada... they wouldn't last one night during our winters, carpenter ants can survive multiple echo systems (hot or cold)... Thanks for watching the video.
@skullnic i found a website and this is the description:
"Scorpion Ant: A deadly descendant of the Fire ant, the Scorpion Ant is known for its sting, seven times as painful as its ancestors. Scorpion ants are twice to three times as big as Fire ants as well and still live in colonies."
@J10rulez no, its true. on a show I watched called "Infested" someone had to SELL THE HOUSE and DECLARE BANKRUPTCY because ants took over literally EVERY PART of their house. You couldn't see the floor beneath the blanket of ants. they couldn't even take a bath or shower because the ants had gotten into their water supply.
@J10rulez I think the worst fact about carpenter ants is that they destroy your home and they will bite you and fight you for it thus for they cause damage to your house like termites
Carpenter ants are so annoying, yesterday we found a colony living outside my house in the roof above my room. I hope that colony was the only one in my house.
@juliuswtkns The term "explosion" in the insect extermination business (or at least here in Montreal, Canada) basically makes reference to an area that is infected with a very high concentration of ants (like in this video). So I apologize for no exploding ants...LOL
@skullnic Actually... Carpenter ants do in fact explode. They have poison glands that run teh entire length of their bodies and when they realize they are about to lose a fight, they get as close to their prey as possible then contract their abdominal muscles so tightly that it causes them to burst, sending the poison flying in all directions.
Im getting sick of all the ants in my house. just this morning they were all over the area where my fridge is, on the right side. even a few carpenter ants showed up, those things are creepy, i killed like 4 of them.
@hectolini Sorry, I don't know what the name is. The music I used was from an archive I had and they are all titled by numbers... if I ever figure out the names I will post the credits so you and anyone can see.
haha b4 I had a small red ant infestation starting in my basement around the flood drain so I decided to find ALL the cleaning products in my house that I could find, mr clean etc and sprayed it like there was no tomorrow, next day there was no activity, mission accomplished, overkill I say
Phantom is great insecticide I would more of a bait that does not kill the ants but over a short time like a few days would kill the Queen. here they get killed if they walk across it but it does not kill teh Queen.
@bugguy905 You are right about the insecticide but in this video the client is the boss, so a search-and-destroy attitude is in order... a complete clean-up is necessary and this includes getting the queen.
@skullnic just found out my new apartments has a few tiny black ants crawling around the kitchen. Guess im gonna try to get some bait and fingers crossed they are all wiped out.
those fuckers got a hell of a bite for being so small I use to throw whatever I could find to this ant hill like rotten vegetables, insects, spiders, grasshopper, and dead alligator lizard (they ate the meat and left the skelleton)
I wonder what would happen if you make a sugar mountain covering the ant hill
I'd throw one of those gas bombs in the ant pit 5:15 and close the door
@sunshine35anddaffy I know it's crazy... as you can see in the vid, my buddy takes a step by step approach but he tells me there are times that even he, hesitates... and he does it for a living.
@sunshine35anddaffy I know it's crazy... as you can see in the vid, my buddy takes a step by step approach but he tells me there are times that even he, hesitates... and he does it for a living.
@TheVideogamebrain Although I haven't seen the exploding ant video..lol that everyone is talking about, I really apologize to all for no exploding ants in this video. The term "ant explosions" makes reference to an infestation and this video is meant to inform anyone who is curious on Carpenter Ant infestations. I am curious to see this popular exploding ant video..LOL, If someone can send me a link it would be cool.
I think it was an insecticide or ant killer spray of some sort... but yeah! I remember the good old days when my mother would vacuum up a bug, and put a bag on the hose end and secure it tightly with a rubber band! Ha Ha!
At my grandparents house,there are lots and lots of this white ants!!Yesterday,their cupboard just lost it's foot!!Hahaha!It is good that it doesn't fall down!!LOLZ...heh.
Hundreds were dead in about 2 minutes. I left the dead ones there. The ants that were not there for the dusting came to see what was going on, and to attempt to get the larva, and covered themselves with the dust in the process. Delta dust works great on these things. It's like talcum powder, and sticks to them very well. They groom themselves, and each other, and when they do they get a nice lethal dose of poison. They end up bringing the poison to the rest of the ants as well.
It was too late to deal with all of them, and I had no insecticide. I woke up the next morning, took the whole trim piece off, and saw hundreds of them bastards. I kept scraping them out with a ruler, then vacuuming the ones that came out. I Did this for about 20 minutes straight. Put some shipping tape over the opening, then cracked out my $7 can of delta dust, that comes in a can with a built in duster, pulled back just the edge of the tape, and dusted the crap out of them.
I just located and destroyed a nest in my house. I don't know if any got away, and are relocating their nest, but for two years in the summer time I could hear that weird sound coming from behind the trim piece above a window jam. I really didn't think much of it, but the other day, it was really loud, and constant. I got a chisel, and a hammer, and pried the trim back a little, and sure a shit a couple carpenter ants came out. I had a vacuum ready, and sucked up a bunch, then closed it up.
I just found a colony this size in my basement below my kitchen sink. My house is only 7 years old. The creepy part is, I work out in my basement and have heard the crinkling nose time after time and never knew what it was. There was a massacre in my basement today. about 8 big ones with wings and hundreds of others.
OMG. that is sooooo gross. Isn't there some other way of getting rid of them besides sprays???
If you find one or a few walking around slow and seemingly weak, does it mean that it is dying and it left the nest?
I found ONE thing that worked FANTASTIC on these little f'-ers. COMET powdered cleanser. Yeah, It's a mess but they avoid it like the plague! I had read somewhere that ants won't cross a simlpe line of chalk, so I tried the Comet cause it was all I had. WOW
Hi, Jason! Thankyou! But what kind of bait? Does'nt it depend on the type of ant? And also, how do you work it so you are getting them from the inside going out? We know they are inside, but not exactly where. If you have any suggestions, it would sure be appreciated!! Thankyou!
First you have to find where they are coming from, might take some time but you can isolate the spot pritty quick if its a bad problem. Look for travel routes or common spots seen by you. If they appear in only one room...then their in the wall floor or ceiling, look behind electrical outlets if needed and listen in each wall for a paper like crunching noise. Use: Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel...follow directions.
THANKYOU, Jason!! Where can you find this gel?? Does it really work that good?? What if you have moisture problems or damp spots...wouldn't that make hearing them kind of hard? We can't quite figure out exactly where they are coming from, but your advice is appreciated, Really! Thankyou, I will try what you said to do. I just need to know where to get that gel. Can you get it from stores like home depot?, or do you need to get it from an exterminator? Again, thankyou!!!
Creepy.

OMG. that is sooooo gross. Isn't there some other way of getting rid of them besides sprays???
If you find one or a few walking around slow and seemingly weak, does it mean that it is dying and it left the nest?
I found ONE thing that worked FANTASTIC on these little f'-ers. COMET powdered cleanser. Yeah, It's a mess but they avoid it like the plague! I had read somewhere that ants won't cross a simlpe line of chalk, so I tried the Comet cause it was all I had. WOW

bait...
jasonw5846 2 years ago
Hi, Jason! Thankyou! But what kind of bait? Does'nt it depend on the type of ant? And also, how do you work it so you are getting them from the inside going out? We know they are inside, but not exactly where. If you have any suggestions, it would sure be appreciated!! Thankyou!

First you have to find where they are coming from, might take some time but you can isolate the spot pritty quick if its a bad problem. Look for travel routes or common spots seen by you. If they appear in only one room...then their in the wall floor or ceiling, look behind electrical outlets if needed and listen in each wall for a paper like crunching noise. Use: Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel...follow directions.

THANKYOU, Jason!! Where can you find this gel?? Does it really work that good?? What if you have moisture problems or damp spots...wouldn't that make hearing them kind of hard? We can't quite figure out exactly where they are coming from, but your advice is appreciated, Really! Thankyou, I will try what you said to do. I just need to know where to get that gel. Can you get it from stores like home depot?, or do you need to get it from an exterminator? Again, thankyou!!!
