are big winged ants, right? And the army of them that have suddenly appeared beneath the eaves of my house have a good reason to be there, right? Like bringing democracy to my attic?

If it's regime change they're after, why don't they just ask? The air conditioning broke down yesterday and I spent a night in hell, so the timing's good.

If they are big, they are ants.

But carpenter ants are just as bad as termites.

*sigh*

Do they like guacamole?

Stick a piece of wood up there, if they eat it, they are termites, if they charge down it and eat your arm, they are ants.
 
I'd tell you to just burn your house down, but, take it from my personal experiences: burning down a house only makes for more problems. ESPECIALLY if the house doesn't belong to you. :eek:

No, no, no.

You must fight them there in the eaves or else you'll fight them in the kitchen.

They have as much right to be there as you Sher. However, democratically and being a US citizen with a constitutional right? You also could view them as intruders and shoot them to death. :|

Aside: Sorry about the AC (shivers or sweats as the case may be).
