Caffeine for the Ants

I came across this tool for calculating how much caffeine it would take to kill you and decided this might come in handy in ridding my house of ants.

I was busy researching whether ants would drink any types of caffeinated beverages like coffee, when I came across this article. Apparently, ants serve a good purpose in nature. What a Bummer!

Just the other day a friend told me that ants are responsible for the declining snake population in Texas, now this!

Here I thought the reason ants existed was to give me an unbeatable platform to run on in the 2008 election.

Oh well, back to the drawing board. I wonder if cock roaches serve a compelling purpose in nature...
