A year ago in 5th grade, where our house was being infested with ants, I found this crack in my backyard, and I took some roller blades. I used a hose to lure them all out, and then crushed them over and over with the age-old roller blades. Over and over again, they streamed out like the Middle Ages footmen pouring out for war, and the roller blades crushed them like a 50 foot tall ogre stepping on them. It was awesome. By the time I was finished, there was about a square-foot radius of dead ants. I wasn't quite satisfied yet. So I dug up the crack, until more ants streamed out, and I begun again. Now the ground was almost completely black, littered with the dead bodies of ants. I pulled it out just enough until I found what resembled a giant hole to go out of. What do you think happened next? I jammed the hose in there and turned it on, full force. Ants raced out, like people trying to grab the first version of NS 1.1, as I kept spraying. They all drowned, eventually, and that was when I was fully satisfied with myself. Also, ladybugs aren't much of a problem. At school, there's this certain spot where you can catch almost 1 every minute. We gathered them all in a bag (we counted 40 at the end of lunch), and after school we flushed them. Something happened, though, when I caught about 4 of them in a row, this orange liquid poured out. I washed my hands really well after that, but can someone tell me what that was?! -shudder- Also, you can burn ants with a magnifying glass. Now <b>that</b> is fun. Last time, I picked up a lighter, set fire to a paper and put it on top of the ant hole. They burned, and it was cool. It wasn't until later that the fire started to swivel around, getting out of control so I stamped it about 30 times until it came out. Then there was this repulsive smell, so I never did that again.
SimAnt!!! - entertaining back when I was in elementary...
Played a real life version in Malaysia.
Of all insects, I hate flies the most; not surprisingly, there is an abundant supply of them when I arrived. A swap fest ensued. Not wanting the fly corpses to go to waste, I'd put them in front of ant lines and see the satisfaction of the ants hauling them in to the abyss. Then, just to confuse them as to whether I was a divine or satanic power, I'd spray the ants with Off!
That was with the black ants though. With the 10x larger red ants, I gave them nothing but Off!

ants + old spherical vacuum cleaner w/ hose attachment = fun!
sand hornets are my enemy. They make their nests where I mow, thereby making them angry when I buzz over the hive, and they start to attack me. So, I just take a little bit of gasoline, pour it in the holes (don't try this at home kids, im a professional nutcase/pyromaniac), light a match, throw.......
and now I am the destroyer, I have brought burning death! The tunnels are littered with the corpses of the unbeleivers! MWAHAHAHAHAH!! Fry with the cleansing fire!!
Wow, I am disturbed, I like it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
we get tiny tiny brown ants, (like 1 mm long) who come otu of the woodwork in my kitchen. our fault for leaving too many breadcrumbs around im sure.
i like to use windex because it doesnt really kill but it annoys and hurts and might kill when they drown...
my favorite, get a nice round tall glass, fill it half up with stale beer (dont let good beer go to waste on ants) and maybe a little sugar, theyll smell it and go in for a drinkey, but ants get drunk instantly because of the tiny body mass, and they fall in and drown! too bad ants float, but anyway in one night you can get a half inch of black goop that turns out to be floating corpses. thousands. that should slow down their lil damn things.
i hear this works great on wasps and bees too, you can put a bigger jar in the back yard (with a lid so you dont get squirrels) and bees will die die die.
Apparently honey works very well for this too. The ants (and flies too) will be attracted by the sugary goodness of the honey and go in and get trapped. All the dead bugs sink to the bottom so it effectively reuses itself. It gets really gross if you leave it out too long though...
With all these pyromaniacs in here made me think back to my little experments with good old home made napalm <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

One of the wooden shells around the concrete supports of the upper half of my house got infested with bees once.
Yes, <b>Bees</b>.
If you pushed your ear against the outside of the wood you could hear them humming and they were swarming around outside. My dog kept trying to jump up and bite them. We had to tie her up.
After a couple days they swarmed off somewhere else. I was kinda disapointed, maybe they could have eaten the termites before they left.
