Argentinian Ant Infestation, John C. Dvorak's Kitchen
John C. Dvorak describes a massive infestation of Argentinian ants in his kitchen following heavy rains in California. The discussion covers the unique behavior of these ants, which form giant interconnected colonies rather than fighting interlopers, and their tendency to travel along electrical lines and wall sockets. Advice is exchanged regarding extermination methods, including the use of Splenda or aspartame as a potential neurotoxin for ants, and the services of professional exterminators like Terminix.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday December 2nd 2012 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 466 This is no agenda Is this not exactly what they predicted that you scoffed at on Thursday?
00:39 This is ridiculous. It's not the rain, it's the ants! When it rains too much and has been raining like all night and day... Which is what they predicted. Yeah well it drives the ants out of the ground because they get drowned For people who don't know there is an ant colony that goes all the way from Mexico to I think the border of Canada There are none of these ants in Washington state Oh really? Because they said that it goes all the way up. Well, maybe not all the way up. They're not in Washington. We've never seen one. We had them in Los Angeles and they were so bad that they were coming out of light sockets is that what you have? There's this one... These are Argentinian ants which are unusual Do they speak Brazilian?
01:26 No, no that's Portuguese Argentinian speak Spanish. Ah good okay so the Spanish speaking ants It's an unusual ant colony because it is one giant ant colony and so if say you have a big mound of them somewhere like in say your backyard And you wipe them out! A few of the ants get away and they roam around and then find another hive The other ones welcome the new ant in and put them to work. As opposed to what most ants do, which is they kill the interlopers. So these ants can...they don't have to you know they're
02:06 non-committal I guess and so they're all over the place yeah and there are jillions of them they don't bite or anything harmless or incredibly incredible. They get into everything, they get in everything, they leave trails... So we've had this it's incredibly hard to get rid of them because you literally have to especially the kitchen is the hardest one takes days it can take longer than that and particularly if your kitchen is mmm somewhat messy We literally had to take everything out of the kitchen and you know place it in a neutral place while just exterminate these ants that were in all the cupboards. They go along electricity lines, they come out of wall sockets, they could...they come out of the craziest places! It is the most disgusting thing. Take some pictures and tweet them
03:00 Well, we don't have the... We're kind of on it so I don't have good. What you want to get is when you have like a kitchen garbage in the container and then you get up in the morning and there's a line that looks like a black line done with magic marker. Yeah, yeah! And it's the ants. These ants going back-and-forth. Then there are also these weird... The funniest thing are this creepy beetles There's a creepy little, you don't see them that often but when you see them it's like what is this? And they're hanging out with the ants. These little beetles. They are like playing cards. They are little bitty, they're like triple ants. It's three lengths of an ant but in the same kind of basic size
03:39 and they're going in and out, apparently the ants don't... They say whatever. It's like the Borg if you're on a Borg ship You can wander around and the borg really do anything until they start killing them Yeah I know exactly what your talking about So, these ants and these beetles start. But anyway it forms this line and you just vacuum them up and it's weird that you can vacuum the entire line which could be like five feet long to where they're coming in. And then as soon as you lift the vacuum up, the line is back again within five seconds. Right okay so here's what we do I have experience with this because we had a lot of let me give my experience when we moved into Los Angeles
04:19 There was a line of ants going around the house and that line got Progressively worse until they finally found their way in so there is a colony somewhere on your on your property You have to Lord one you have to nuke that and then yeah, and then you need to put down some Splenda. Oh Because those guys they come up. They eat the Splenda and within seconds And anything that contains aspartame just give it a try it's guaranteed to work on that's funny idea I had that's actually good what I do is I have some some ant poison and I find the points of entry And then I just dab it on there, and then the ants come by and they start you know having conniptions yeah, and then they pretty much
05:02 Yeah, and then convulsions. And then they start forming a pile of dead ants and you can kind of vacuum them up. I would also recommend calling... It's disgusting! California, don't move here anyone! Call Terminix is what I'd do. Terminix. Those guys are great. Yeah they don't give a crap if they're poisoning you or anybody else. No but the ant problem is gone wouldn't it? Anyway John ummm..I am very very dismayed at the start of today's program not just for your ant issue but I'm so angry that here we are, two guys with a perfectly good not just good but an excellent outstanding consultancy the Curry Dvorak Consultancy Group.
