Last week a hoard of ants moved into our kitchen cabinets....sometimes its the kitchen cabinets and sometimes other parts of the house....this usually happens when we start getting our first cold weather, like the 40 degrees we had Friday night.
I noticed a hoard of the little buggers, early yesterday morning, crawling all over my computer, which sits on the floor of our converted carport-to-computer room....I guess they liked the warmth of the internal parts of the computer.
I had noticed earlier in the morning, that my computer was acting weird, and wouldn't direct me to any site that I clicked on....I was trying to look up some family info., but it would direct me to some really weird websites, and then wouldn't allow me to disconnect from them.
I clicked every button on my pc, and finally the screen went completely blank, and just completely locked up....I figured it was just the sorry internet service acting up.
Then, later, I discovered the ants....so, I disconnected it, and took it outside, so maybe the little buggers could find a new home, instead of my pc... didn't want to spray it with any bug spray.
Left it under the carport, overnight, but a few were still hanging around, today....took a pic for insurance purposes because the ants have totally shorted it out.
I have had them invade several of my farm irrigation well electrical meters, and they can short them out beyond repair....they do the same thing on the phone company's connector boxes, coming into our house....I got bit several times, too, and beside biting, they cause a lot of damage, so keep a look out for the little buggers, especially, if you live in the deep woods, like we do.
