Huaco Kid Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Gently knock the sand back into the holes, and sit around (with beer) and watch them all go puff puff back into craters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a little sugar to their nests and tear up the nearest anthills. Passes the time. Unsuspecting ants fall into those traps and can't climb out.

Video game kids lost out. I used to dig out a bowl shaped depression in dry sand and then toss in ants from different nests and watch them battle. The red ants were the most badass even though they were smaller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to take a shovel and scoop up a fire ant mound and drop it on another fire ant mound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostinTexas Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Grew up calling the Doodlebugs. Seems there was a rhyme to say while stirring the trap with a stick. Later when we figured out they were doomsday to ants, we fed them to the Doodlebug. Ant Lions. Pretty formidable I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
