Guy finds ant colony living behind his television screen. Any suggestions on how he can shoo them away?

Could be worse. Could be cockroaches.

As a person with bit of an ant phobia, and who recently couldn’t go in the kitchen for three days because of an infestation, I say BURN IT TO THE GROUND. If it takes the house with it… all good. Less ants overall. Burn motherfuckers, BURN!

If they die, you just open the thing up and air dust them out.

Throw it from a tall building, then kill it with fire.

A 48hr video of static , because why not.

Play Henry Mancini music, loud.

Dead ant, dead ant… They hate that.

Play Trump all day long. They’ll hate, and walk.

They can go somewhere else. Not like us. We actually have to deal with this awful situation.

An added benefit: Static-only would remove another source of anxiety, lessening watchers’ exposure to the latest news cycle.

My solution is to leave them there and enjoy the show (until they short out the tv and/or cause a fire.)

Probably not what he was looking for.

We have a smoke alarm ant colony every 4 to 5 years (in a 1980 house we’ve owned for 20 years). The alarm goes off for a few minutes every few hours. Aargh! Of course, it’s the one smoke alarm that is 17 feet above the floor on the house’s second floor. We get the tall ladder and remove the battery for a while. Sigh.

nobody remembers the ending:

According to the book Future Tense , “Bass originally filmed a spectacular, surreal montage lasting four minutes, showing what life would be like on the ‘new’ Earth, but this was cut by the distributor.”[5] The montage was intended to suggest that the two surviving characters were altered by the ants’ creation of the next step in evolution for humanity and insects. Shots from the original montage sequence appear in the theatrical trailer, which was likely prepared before cuts were made to the film.

In early 2012, a faded print of the original ending sequence was found in the Saul Bass Collection at the Academy Film Archive in a preview version of the film, which was originally shown to test audiences in 1973. In June 2012, this excerpt was screened to the public in Los Angeles at the Cinefamily cinematheque following a showing of the theatrical version.

and someone was nice enough to film that particular showing:

Now we know.

That was pretty much the classic 70s trippy ending it deserved. Thank you.
