How to destroy an anthill?

[teqrevisited]

Pour lighter fluid / other fuel down the hole.
Pour a liquid fuse of reasonable length.
Light end of the fuse.
Run.

When my dad wants to get rid of wasp nests he uses bleach, I think it would work on an ant hill.

 

[Daveman]

Boiling water. Just put the kettle on. You probably just need a lot. They'll run out of ants before you run out of water.

Use the simplest answer to any problem. Hit it with a hammer. So your problem is 3 feet wide. Hit it with a big hammer. Smash it to bits and hope they're just normal ants.

Three words:

Nuclear launch detected.

 

[reiem531]

Punch it

 

[Tsaba]

Dig a hole parallel with the ant hill, fill it with explosives, put dirt, confetti, whatever on top, watch the fireworks.

Nuclear launch detected.

For the Swarm! (lord forbid the ants say that.

Actual way. Assuming "anthill" approximately equates to an Australian Termite Mound

Claw hammer + the top = Large opening

Pour in petrol. (Liquid fuel for cars because I can't be arsed listing all the other ways to say petrol)

Let them die. (The queen needs to die)

Dig it out. (I'm afraid that you do need to dig it out to get rid of it properly. You can just smash the top up and put some soil over the top and hope grass grows on it I suppose.)

Scan the area and then bring in the hellions.

Nuke 'em from orbit. Failing that:
Homemade flamethrower. Failing that
Make your clothes ant-proof, grab a pitchfork, dig through the hill to the queen and squash it and all of the eggs you find.

Fire. And please record it and post it up here. I've always wanted to do it myself but I don't have a lawn anymore.

Gasoline.

Then, light it for good measure.

pipe and smash it in then put something flammable (like petrol put less expensive) into the tunnels and light it on fire.

Pyromaniacs FTW!

So this, buy a lot of petrol, and pour it down the hole and around the soil there. Let it soak for about 30seconds to 2 minutes, allowing fumes to build up in the ant tunnels. Then stand back (for your eyebrows) and light it. Problem solved awesomely and cheaply.

Truth. its worked for me before.


AND IT WAS AWESOME!

Well, you can kill them with poison foam. Dish soap + water + alkaline material (NaOH, found in drain cleaner) pour the foam into all the entrances and watch them dissolve.

 

[Shakomaru]

Would Neurotoxin work on ants?

 

[PinkiePyro]

Purchase aardvark. Let aardvark roam free in your garden. Problem solved.

I second this notion!

that or you could try my fathers tactics for dealling with ground dwelling wasps (should work on ants too)

option 1. spray can of raid down nest hole plug the quickly plug hole with golfball so bugs cant escape

option 2. shove hose with water turned to max down nest hole flee from pissed off hornets

also ants hate Cinnamon

 

[Vhite]

Rapier or maybe napalm.

Assassinate the queen with a silenced scoped rifle from a safe distance, or you can just you know... crush her with the mighty thumb.

Have you tried a magnifying glass?

Torture them for your inconvenience!

 

[Falconsgyre]

Get a giant magnifying glass and set it on fire.

 

[Gitty101]

Kill it with fire! Just pour Gasoline over the anthill, make sure it gets into all the crevaces. Leave it a few seconds, then ignite! BOOM!!!

If you cannot solve a problem with fire or love, why the hell would you want to solve it at all?!

Maybe I am just a hopeless romantic and pyromaniac though... But fire is awesome... except when you are questioned on going from having two eyebrows and a fringe to only half of one eye-brow.
