Personally, I happen to like ants. They’ve been around a lot longer than we have, and they are vital to the Earth’s ecosystem. As far as they are concerned, humans are just a temporary nuisance and an occasional source of food. Instead of complaining about ants in the insulation, just put it in perspective. At least America doesn’t have massive hordes of voracious, inch-long army ants marching paths of destruction through our neighborhoods.

"inch-long army ants ..."

You haven't been around the ceder trees of the southeast United States, have you?
We got them (also knows as "Carpenter Ants"), but they're few in number, and not a problem.

Not yet. We didn't have fire ants, or this new species, or pythons in the everglades, or some SE Asian fish destroying our fisheries either until recently. But now we do.

Forgive me for being a "Cassandra" but this current influx of invasive creatures is little more than our form of the plagues of Egypt, and it results from our having turned our back on God.
