On the other hand: anything that considers my computers, game consoles, and other various electronics a tasty treat must be killed with fire.

The would build nests around the capacitors and connections of the electric pumps, shorting them out. We found treating the area with good ol' Sevin Dust worked, but I doubt you'd want to sprinkle it on a Blackberry device.

It's not fire ants, and it's not those little black sugar ants that get into food. They're the stupidest, strangest ants I've ever seen. They don't bite, and they don't get in our food (although, they seem to LOVE our cat's Rx kibble). They just march all over the damn house. I've sprayed Ortho Home Defense Max all over the place -- they just do cannonballs into puddles of it and laugh at me. I've spread broadcast insecticide pellets all over the yard -- no joy. I'm about ready to call Terminix or something. We’ve had an ant problem in our house this year worse than I’ve ever seen.
