Vicious TX critter attack and guns useless

Today as I left for work, I saw a vicious set of critters attacking my garbage can.

I moved to stop them but they quickly surrounded me, biting and gnawing at my leg.

I did not use my PDW even though people have died from these critters' attack.

What happened and why didn't I used 10 hollow point rounds on them?
 
Germs. They were germs right? Flies? Your own pet dogs? Hallucinations? Yeah, that's the ticket, I vote for hallucinations.

Ants are to small!!??!??
Durn! Now you tell me. Another fun pastime down the drain.

At least I still have beer and the bug zapper. :eek:

;)
 
Yeah, my boss has problems with squirrels too. He throws ice cubes at them, or chases them with the rake.

Later,
Chris

In San Antonio, fire ants are a distinct probability. The squirrels are also a bit mad. When I lived there, they chewed out part of the electrical wiring in my car, killing the A/C, windshield wipers, and radio. If he had been attacked on the Trinity campus, I might have guessed feral cats. (However, they tend to stick to the lower campus near the dorms.)
 
You could shoot ants ... it's still a matter of shot placement, right? ;) Besides, here's just another example of the need for full capacity mag's ... ;)

Um....fear for public safety?

You can't shoot ants? But black powder sure does some fun things to fire ants. :) That is before you dump on the Orthene.

Killing fire ants is fun. :D
 
You got it, fire ants.

They had totally enveloped the bottom of the garbage can and were streaming out of the lawn towards the can.

At a seemingly safe distance, I unleashed a magnum sized Ortho spray on them.

But the little darlings flanked me and
and crawled in my shoe.

Those were taken out in CQB.

So far the squirrels haven't done much.

We once had the neighborhood chase a coral snake down the street.

The scorpions in the house are fun.
 
Any you yankees don't know what fire ants are, they are indeed vicious little biting critters. As a young lad of four I remember being ganged up on by them, bit the hell out of me and their sting and poison stays with you for awhile. If I remember correctly there are flying fire ants, anyone have experience with them?

Fire ants.. Yeech. When I lived in Florida (out in the boonies) we were having trouble with them. Tracters were getting stuck in the mounds that they built. Millions upon billions of them would attack anything in their path. Nothing a good fire didn't solve. Roasted the damn things every chance we got. Them and the hornets, it was war from day one (spring/summer). Used to shove m-80's down the mounds myself, but you really had to be in shape, those damn things would fly in every direction, biting the first thing they touched. Didn't know about the flying ones... unless they had an m-80 to get em started. Ah, the memories.

Actually, you can whack'em by pouring gasoline down the nest (WITHOUT subsequently lighting it rednecky people :) :) )

F*** Amdro killing them over a few days, gas'em at night and they'll be extinct by morning.
