We’re re-doing some pavers in the back yard; as anyone who has ever lifted a paver probably knows, there is usually an orgy of ant activity underneath each one. I will think of you as I lift pavers and sprinkle Ant-B-Gone today, Cinnamon. 
Are they doing anything to you, or just trying to make a living? 
They aren’t a problem for what they do so much (except they do kind of ruin plants when they dig out the roots for a colony) so much as the way they over-run your entire yard. Then, next thing you know, their babies are being born with your face on them, and it just goes downhill from there.
Of course they bite. You didn’t think they hugged aphids to death, did you? :dubious:
We may be witnessing a Biblical prophecy come true - the beasts will reign over the earth.
I don’t know about you, but I find it damned hard to get the microwave oven out to the garden.
Are you going to eat that?
