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

Welcome to my world. The only thing I feel is recoil though.

It was probably just trying to carry the ant back home to eat. Ants don't have emotions, they follow their queen's wish without question. And the Queen's demand is to bring food back, no matter what it is. You can find ants bringing back other dead insects and bugs around sometimes. Besides, they back thousands of babies a day, so killing a few isn't going to do much difference.

It was eating the dead and. Eating not cradling. Or taking it back to be eaten by the queen.

This probably wouldn't be an fml if it were a cockroach instead.

Ants don't have families OP... There's the queen that has the babies and the rest are just servants or slaves.

Try boric acid. They'll go back to their ant hill to die and you only have to do it once. Won't see a thing

See, ants (along with bees and some other insects that have the same "family" hierarchy) will keep the deceased if the latter does not smell dead. Similarly, they'll kick out a live one if it does (smell dead). So whatever you sprayed must've changed some chemistry. When I had ants, I didn't fight them, I just put a teaspoon of honey on the floor near their hole and in a couple hours there was no ants and no honey (not even a sticky spot on the floor where the honey was).
