ant mounds

I suppose one could set up a piezoelectric device to harvest very small traces of electricity from the activity of the ants. I suspect, though, that the ants would have moved out by then.

Ants are antagonists to electrical activity. It's against their culture

Not normally. Why do you ask?

Volts times ants equals what?

If the ants build their mound on top of a wool sweater or rug? They can generate static electricity if they wear wool socks.

they don't need no steenkin' socks. They have anti-freeze.

I've read that "Crazy" Ants from the Gulf Coast area are known to move into electrical equipment boxes in sufficient numbers to short out some connections. This is the result of a colonizing behavior where they like to move into small enclosed spaces.

Apparently the Crazy ants are so invasive that they are pushing out the Fire Ants. Up in New Hampshire the Carpenter Ants will try to eat your house if you let them, but at least the little bitty Ants stay out in the field in their little mounds.

"Crazy" ants love their Ozzie Osborne!

Prolly not, but electricity can certainly produce antmusic though.

Ants are amazing superheroes!

Truly electrifying!

That would work much better with aunt mounds, I'd imagine...

When I first moved in here, my compressor only worked a short time, before shutting down. Removed the lid from the condenser. Ants had totally buried the compressor. Cleaned them and their dirt out and we had cool air all summer. I just knew PETA would not understand if they found out.
