We had some weird ants at work a couple of years ago. They were much faster than any other ant and were hard to kill with the stuff our “pest contractor” used. We were not allowed to treat pests. I sneaked some Boric acid and spread it in our infected area and they were gone.

I’ve never seen these things. They’re regular fire-ant length, but have fat black butts with a little stinger on the end which they carry high. They’re slow and go single-file and not too organized.

My neighbor is a Vietnamese electrical engineer mega-gardener who imports lots of exotics so these ants probably ain’t from around here......

Say, what?!? How's that? I had some sort of ants a couple weeks ago. A dusting of Sevin and they were gone. Have some sort of sugar ants in the kitchen but can't figure out where they're coming in at.
