'Crazy ants' that feast on electronics and are invading the U.S.CANNOT be killed with normal insecticide

Since it was first spotted in Houston in 2002, it's spread to some 21 counties in Texas, 20 counties in Florida and a few locations in Mississippi and Louisiana
 The omnivorous ant attacks and kills other species as well as monopolizing food sources to the detriment of the entire ecosystem

A new and annoying species of ant is terrorizing the U.S. and chemicals that kill off other types of the insect are proving ineffective against it.
 
The 'crazy' ant, named for the erratic trail it leaves as it makes its way across the country, originated in Argentina and Brazil.

But since it was first spotted in Houston in 2002, it has spread to some 21 counties in Texas, 20 counties in Florida and a few locations in Mississippi and Louisiana.

University of Texas researcher and co-author of a study on the creatures Ed LeBrun said the omnivorous ants attack and kill other species as well as monopolizing food sources to the detriment of the entire ecosystem.

He said everything from cattle to songbirds are at risk of the tiny ants, despite them being at the bottom of the food chain.

Sounds like a sci-fi movie.  I'm sure that movie buff could find it . . .

Maybe they are "zombie" ants, and hence eligible democratic voters.

Ptarmy, didn't that get incinerated by the US Army?

And, just pour some petroleum distillate (gasoline) on 'em (the ants).  That should work fine.
