Tiny red ants all over my computer desk! They have been coming for days now! There is no food around, and I don't see them anywhere else in the place...just on this desk! Anybody got any ideas to make them go away? I'm going crazy!

Do you want to make them go away, or do you want to KILL THEM? If you want them to go away, you can ask them politely. If you want to kill them, get some RAID. Kills bugs dead!!

Ants bury their dead. No kidding. If you try to kill them - make sure you get them all, or more will show up to collect their dead soldiers. Chemical warfare is the way to go IMHO.

Ants will eat insulation off wires and other electrical stuff. Funny, what tastes good to them.

Our house has a major problem with black ants, however a few ant traps in each room every year and the problem ceases to exist.
