What you REALLY REALLY REALLY SHOULDN’T DO is to introduce Pharaoh ants into or near data centers.
Because…

The also reproduce through clonal budding. The build very small colonies (a few hundreds to thousands of ants) and when stressed due to anything, they’ll move their larvae and raise one of them into a new queen to form a new colony. This means Pharaoh ants are practically impossible to eradicate once they get established. They’re also VERY QUICK to move into climate controlled environments. And YES they DO cause severe damage to electrical equipment, and for some GODFORSAKEN SATANIC REASON, they FUCKING LOVE ELECTRICITY and ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT!
Source, I had to get almost 10k in electrical work done because after hiring a shitty pest control company, their treatments weren’t focused on the biology of pharaoh ants (they didn’t even bother to ID them), and by stressing the population, the EXPLODED the population. The ants then decided that my electric panel and several outlets had become their SWORN enemy, to the point it became a real fire hazard as a seemingly endless series of ants came to die by burning up between some junctions.
Where can i purchase these ants?
Well they have basically a global distribution: https://urbanentomology.tamu.edu/urban-pests/ants/pharoah/
But if you need a quick fix, I know a guy who knows a guy… hint hint nudge nudge…
Can you cross breed them with fireants?
According to @[email protected], they turn into fire ants when they reach an electrical junction. While the exterminator was playing chess, the ants were playing checkers.
“Checker-mate”
- The fire ants formally known as PharaohThis is even more genius.
We now need to prepare a tactical guide to raising and maintaining a hobby ant farm.
You can come to my house and take them all
Bro, those ants need an uber to the nearest data center.
Chaotic good post.
Do not plant eucalyptus either.

Warning, don’t plant bamboo underneath the restrained torsos of Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, O’Leary, etc. as they grow so quickly with hard rigid points that they can break through a human torso in 3 days.
Only in the south. And only if you use the American species of bamboo.
The government would hate it if you happened to lose a sizeable device capable of spontaneously combusting near a data center.
Bamboo is beginner shit, if you really want to cause trouble, try japanese knotweed. They will never be able to get rid of that!
Ik it’s a PITA!!! My yard has it. It’s been observed growing in and surrounding volcanos. FUCKING VOLCANOS!!! GAME FUCKING OVER!!!
Yup. It also quickly regenerates from the tiniest root fragment, so not even plowing and shredding the ground destroys it.
My condolences about your yard.
It’s chill it’s only the surrounding border of the yard which the already had in their yard so I don’t feel too bad plus there’s someone who keeps a tree of going. I keep it at bay by planting sunflowers and raspberries. They seem to be good shields for now. Hasn’t invaded my whole yard but I would be heartbroken if it did.
We tried everything, round up helped for two seasons but we used 6 containers of it tilled and did 6 more and then amended the soil with fresh soil and manure layered it and used 35% vinegar on the known spots. They STILL THRIVE.
I had to amend the soil anyways because after years of them being there the soil went partially hydrophobic and wasn’t taking in the water and was basically just dusty soil devoid of nutrients.
Root vegetables helped to mainly potatoes.
I learned from a cannabis forum that there’s a way to sign up for a special injector from your city (town or municipality) that you can inject the stalks with a herbicide that kills them from the inside out. Has the highest success rate but the wait list is huge.
There was discussions a while back and they said that you could possible modify a cattle injector for such purposes.
What are you, a British railway?
Don’t think planting possibly invasive species will solve any problems.
Please for the love of God don’t do my stupid ideas. I don’t condone any of them.
Get a fucking gas powered pressure washer full of liquid culture of this shit ( https://www.ecurrent.com/food/meet-the-mushroom-stronger-than-sidewalks-banded-agaricus/ ) and spray the building from the back of a pick up truck while wearing a hazmat suit, cheaper than you’d think clean room suit with a skin tight Russian surplus gas mask retrofitted with a modern Honeywell filter using a gas mask adapter.
Find the tallest hemp plants, preferable tree size, and throw their seeds around the data centers.
Wow. In the novel Soft Apocalypse by Will McIntosh, eco terrorists develop a strain of bamboo that will grow through anything. They plant it to tear up buildings, roads, and the occasional human. Now we just need someone to create the Dr Happy pill.
Supposably that was a form of execution in ancient china. They would stake the victim over a bamboo sprout which would eventually grow through their chest.
Anything invasive that invade via rhisomes like Elephant Grass. If you want to really fuck with them you could do sugar cane. You could do blackberries, raspberries, blueberries.
Native black rasberries, in north america. Fuck their shit up with native plants please.
