Fighting fireants with fire

With out the rain to keep the population at bay, ants have become a regular annoyance, to the degree that they have taken up residence inside one of the monitors. That was relatively fine until they started laying eggs. And peeing on the circuit boards. That would then produce small shocks felt by those using the computer - clearly the ants had to go.

The hair-dryer didn't work, so smoke from fire was the next best option. The broom was also a duel use: cleaning up ashes and encouraging ants to flee with eggs.

I was also told in either in Cambodia or Laos (I'm leaning towards Cambodia…), that people there make a mighty fine ant egg salad. Apparently it tastes like limes.
