Actually it's pretty easy to wipe out the ants here in Arizona...

It's SO dry that food left outside is parchment in a day or two. The ants here have to move fast to feed - and are hyperactive and can't stay still or they will evaporate.

A few of the "Kill the queen" poison baits placed out in a number of strategic ant-trails can wipe em out for a long, long time.

Though you don't want to get bit by one...the ants here after a multigenerational exposure to some of the highest ionizing radiation in the world, and fending off some pretty tough predators pack a potent venom.

If the world becomes an oven - a cooperative effort to kill colonies is whats needed. I could kill that super colony in three weeks time - if I had the supplies and/or cooperation of residents in the area.

It's just one can't be a royalist...

for one has to take up the motto:

"kill the queens!"
