Today, I sprayed down some ants in my house. In the sea of ant corpses was a single living ant seemingly cradling a dead one in its arms. I'm convinced I just became the villain in an epic tragedy. Now I have to live with my ant problem because I can't bear to tear another family apart. FML

More then cradling it, it was more likely trying to carry it to eat it lol

You're a good person, for saving the rest. They have EVERY right to walk amongst us. They need to survive all the same. Like if it came down to it, no normal person would walk up to a lion and spray it with water for eating the crumbs from the dirty plates.

No 'normal person' would go up to a lion, never mind spray water on it... whatever the provocation. If I have an ant in my home I will kill it, no hesitation. You think an animal in the wild (say your lion, for example) would hesitate to kill you if you were in its home? What if the 'cute' lil ants were termites? Should the OP just let them snack on the house till it is unfit to live in, for fear of harming them? There are plenty of places for insects, inside the house is not one of them.

No one would do that because it wouldn't do anything except alert the lion that there is a viable food source being a dick and spraying it with water.

All the worker ants are female. The only ones that are male have wings.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

Worker ants are sterile females except the queen ant which is the only one to reproduce. The drone ants (winged ants) are the males.

Use vinegar on their paths. It won't kill them, but they don't like the smell and it obscures their track markings.

I don't even know thy this FML got through, stop trying to turn killing ants in to a big emotional drama. Seriously, what age are you?

You watch them suffer and die. You are EVIL !!

OP is actually the ant god. The ants angered her and she brought upon the great flood. She'll probably find ant Noah and his ark somewhere soon
