Ants. Not Aunts. I know Aunts get ‘tribal’, because I’ve seen two sides of maternal aunts start throwing bottles at each other. . . but that’s not what I’m talking about.
I’m talking about ants. Your regular, garden variety ant. Before I move into my new house, I’m currently crashing at a friend’s place, which unfortunately has ants in it (I’ve already called an exterminator). I’m afraid that when I move out of the “friend’s place” and into mine, I might pick up a hitchhiker from Colony “A” that might try to establish his/her own colony. At this point, correct me if I’m wrong.
This I can’t see, as I don’t think drones can start their own colony. Thus, I see this hitchhiker trying to join into another colony. Would this new colony, “Colony ‘B’” detect that the new ant is foreign and try to kill it, or would they accept “A” into it’s colony? I’m afraid if it’s the latter, my hitchhiker may invite “B” into my new place.
Do I have to worry? I’m thinking I will just haul off and call an exterminator anyway, but I never know. . .

Damn, I hate these things. Ants are everywhere around here!
