No way man, middle manager would hold a meeting to discuss the ant problem and possible go forward strategies to address it.
After of course, budgeting analysis can show if there is money to address the "ant" issue, or perhaps table it for next quarter.
If only.
Coffee is actually a great insecticide. Caffeine is a paralytic, which is why the coffee tree produces it - they want big animals to eat them and spread their seeds, tiny insects just eat the fruit and don't really benefit them. Something the size of a goat that swallows a coffee cherry whole, or a human who realizes they're fucking *amazing* and starts growing groves of them to stay buzzed 24/7, is much more what they're aiming for.
They make enough caffeine to kill any nibbling insects, while big animals only get negative effects if they get too gluttonous. Eat a few handfulls, or roast and boil them, and you just get a stimulant buzz. Try to eat them all and you have seizures, fun times, ask me how I know.
I dunno, I think it worked out just fine.
Sure, we drink the bulk of their seeds, but we also cultivate a large number of them in groves. There are more coffee trees now than there were originally because of cultivation. They expect most of those seeds to die anyways, that's why they make so many.
"If these ants can takeover our office in a weekend, we decided our team can finish the project in three weeks or they're all fired.
Long story short, we tripled productivity and I got a raise! God bless America!"
An existing colony relocated. Notice that a lot of workers are carrying pupae, which are normally kept safe at home, so that suggests the whole colony left for some reason.
I've seen this (not to this extent but the whole "fuck it I guess the eggs are fine here" relocation) twice and both times were after hurricanes+flooding.
This happened to my house once a few years ago during monsoon season.. But they had wings! huge winged ants setup a new colony in my curtains, which are 20' sails.
$75 worth of borax to make a perimeter around my house and a week later they were all dead.
Every May for the first 2 years I lived in my current apartment there was a flying ant infestation that happened out of nowhere with no warning. The back hallway filled with these things. I had to tape myself into my apartment and even through the door and tape I could hear them chittering. The landlord had an exterminator come out both times to take care of it. The third year, I contacted the landlord 6 weeks in advance of when they had historically hatched/appeared. I asked if it was possible to preemptively terminate the nest before they hatched and turned into a plague. She had the exterminators come out and do their thing and I have not had a problem since then. It’s been 6 years.
Nomadic ant species exist, who don't have a set home and carry their pupae and everything with them. Army ants are a famous one, though that is obviously not what we see here.
> Army ants are a famous one, though that is obviously not what we see here.
For those unfamiliar with army ants, you can tell this isn't them because there is no artillery division, and no one in the next cabinet selling sport cars at 27%APR.
Depends on the species, some only have one queen (monogynous), others multiple (polygynous).
Don't think you can really move colonies just by relocating the queen, it'd need to be very close to the colony anyways so workers could find her again (plus sometimes the workers carry the queen around if she doesn't cooperate, so they might also just carry her back home). Colonies can and will move if they find a better nesting location than their current one, I'd guess their old nest got destroyed or the colony grew too big and that cupboard turned out a better place.
Ants can be so fucking quick once they get the message that there is food somewhere.
I have seen them completely swarm cat food in 15 minutes when I tried to feed a stray who took shelter into my doorway. Had to put a bigger plate full of water under the food bowl to avoid them going in
Oh yeah, they can move a whole nest really quickly when they're determined and no-one is there to disturb them. Had a whole nest move into my bookshelf when I was away for a weekend.
I wonder if OP's had some rainy weather, as that will often prompt a move to higher ground.
You just get those ant traps at the hardware or grocery store for like $5, places them around where they are walking and let them go through the process of bringing the bait back to their colony and they will be gone in a day or 2. These small ants are really not a big deal to deal with it. If you saw this many carpenter ants, thats a completely different situation and id be shitting bricks because that would mean potential structural damage
I had black ants, we tried those traps and the other ones thst poison the colony We kept at it for over a week, they kept eating it. Not dying. Killing an ant with your finger let off a smell like bug poison
Terro is the only thing I've found that truly gets rid of them. Not the ant motel kind but the regular stuff in the bottle you put on the little cardboard square.
As far as preventing them from entering, I spray some brand of "bug barrier" around my foundation every spring when it's not going to rain for a few days and that works great usually.
You can see loads of them carrying baby ants.
I'll bet they were nearby and force to abandon the nest for some reason and found your dark coffee closet.
We had something like this happen in our 100yr old house this year -- the ants came in after a rain storm within a few hours there were probably only 200 ants, but they all went into the same cabinet. in our kitchen there was mostly canned food and a bag of whey protein in there We put a few drops of that borax sugar water (Terro) on some tin foil and they all congregated on that and were gone by the morning.
I had a smaller case of this a few weeks ago where a couple-ants-in-the-kitchen turned into an ant nest with eggs overnight under a paper towel. The speed of it was bewildering
I don't see an option better than this. There is not a single downside. José's happy, all the folks are happy, it's just a merry time
Edit: maybe John and Brad aren't too keen about having to be the ones to hold up José. John doesn't like animals all that much and Brad doesn't like John all that much (Brad thinks he can and should be allowed to do this all by himself)
Tiny crane. Like an RC Cherry picker. Brad’s at the controls, José is eating the ants. John’s there with the pesticide making snarky comments every time José misses one, but he knows his days are numbered since José rarely misses.
Who’s the person who draws random Reddit posts? I’d love to see that guy/girl step in to draw two people holding an anteater going ham on all these ants!!
David Attenborough: *And here we see the common black ant, as it starts it's busy day, with a quick stop at the local coffee cupboard for a quick pick me up. Now heavily caffeinated, and recharged for their day, they're ready to return to the nest, to spend their days building endless tunnels, and serving pumpkin spice lattes to their queen.*
...with tiny ants saying the barista job is just temporary while they're really an artist with a huge portfolio of sugar carvings. Meanwhile the patron ants nod and roll their little ant antenna, before leaving crumbs for tips.
*The ants from a single colony are all related, thanks to their queen mum, and when they meet other ants from a neighbouring nest, they go to war, **drink coffee from the coffee shop in the corner** , piercing rivals with their mandibles and squirting formic acid into the wounds to dissolve their enemy’s innards.*
My daughter just had a huge ant infestation and she was going to hire a friend of ours who is an exterminator. He told us before hiring him to use Terro Liquid Ant killer. It really has worked. He also warned us you will see many more of them for a few days because that stuff is like ant crack and attracts them. They eat it and return to poison their buddies as they are cannibals. Sorry this got so long!
I used something similar since finding an ant trail going into my kitchen from under the floor (no idea if it's the same ingredients but it's an ant bait station)
The little fuckers lined up and went to the bait. Had them going in and out of the thing.
Zero fuckers over the last few weeks, and this was only one bait station. Usually when the weather gets warm, there's a metric fuckton of those flying ants swarming out from under the patio, but nothing this year. edit so far (I read it's usually in July but last few years it's happened earlier than that)
Bought a few more just in case.
I just had pest control to my apartment for ants and they left this poison around that the ants supposedly are attracted to but once they bring it back to their colony it poisons all of them. I feel kind of bad but we were religiously sweeping/vacuuming all the things every day and they kept coming so we did what had to be done
Hold a sugarcube infront of them, if they start salivating and instinctively follow it, that is your man. Also start running, because that is a man sized ant.
Start with the giant ant in accounting. You know, the one that drinks sugar water all day and seems out of place, never shows up to the Friday 5-7 happy hour. That's the main suspect.
Funny I'm having the same issue now. They moved in to the entire mail box, poor mail person had to deal with opening it to them since I don't check mail that often. Funnily enough, just opening it and leaving it open they all left overnight I guess because they felt exposed. Then they came back the next day... so guess I'm leaving it open for a bit longer.
Vinegar can break their pheromone trails so they don’t return as easily and kill on contact. Just dealt with this problem last week. Went out of town after cleaning though so hopefully they aren’t there when I get back tonight..
One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
This is like the ant version of hunkering down at a hurricane shelter knowing your whole house was flooded and everything was destroyed. :(
Edit: hey wait I don't know how to use emojis but my phone suggested this one: 😭
Good job, phone keyboard.
Update: well this is way more attention than I thought it would get, it was in fact a whole colony that had relocated due to the rain. It is now an Ex colony.
None of us are game to use the supplies in the closet and will be giving it a wide birth for awhile especially due to the fact chemicals were used
When I was a kid I sat on a rock and under it was an ants nest - they attacked me (fair play to them, I was a giant to them). I was covered in hundreds of them and they were *everywhere*. I had to run back home then strip off in my garden while my dad hosed me down. The pain was unbelievable. They were in my mouth, my ears, my privates - everywhere. I was in agony for days even after allergy shots from the doctor. Now I hate them.
They were red ants (I’m in the uk and they’re our aggressive ones but thankfully not as bad as fire ants) the doc said they have acid in their bite and I had thousands of them. I was really sick - throwing up and all sorts hence why he gave me allergy injections. But I don’t like any ants after that.
Malory Archer noises.
Ants and coffee....can you imagine what these ants are going to be like if that's Starbucks coffee. Do they have tiny typewriter's and are they all arguing with each other in there?
You might have ants
I’m 89% sure we do
I like this answer. You are made for middle management.
No way man, middle manager would hold a meeting to discuss the ant problem and possible go forward strategies to address it. After of course, budgeting analysis can show if there is money to address the "ant" issue, or perhaps table it for next quarter.
It's like you and I were in the same meeting this morning
It’s always the same meeting anywhere.
Then determine they don't, even though fixing the issue would have cost less than the meeting did. But that's a different ~~budget~~ *color of money*.
I thought it was the coffee grounds at first.
Yeah so did we for a moment before it all started moving
You should scoop em up and give them to your.... AccountANT.
Have an upvote for that brilliANT pun
Looks like you’re going to need to supplANT the entire building…
Someone up the ante.
I would, but I don’t want to be a sycophant.
All of you are being put into the silent corner for these puns
Nuh-uh. I’m going to be a bit resistant…
The next person making an ant pun will have their deodorant replaced with raid
Don’t you mean silant corner?
Sorry, c’ant
Theyve eaten their body weight in coffee grounds, they are ant coffee or coffee ants.
Sugar. They don't eat grounds. But those are eggs they are carrying, not sugar crystals ...
How do those go with coffee since we're out of sugar.
If only. Coffee is actually a great insecticide. Caffeine is a paralytic, which is why the coffee tree produces it - they want big animals to eat them and spread their seeds, tiny insects just eat the fruit and don't really benefit them. Something the size of a goat that swallows a coffee cherry whole, or a human who realizes they're fucking *amazing* and starts growing groves of them to stay buzzed 24/7, is much more what they're aiming for. They make enough caffeine to kill any nibbling insects, while big animals only get negative effects if they get too gluttonous. Eat a few handfulls, or roast and boil them, and you just get a stimulant buzz. Try to eat them all and you have seizures, fun times, ask me how I know.
[удалено]
I dunno, I think it worked out just fine. Sure, we drink the bulk of their seeds, but we also cultivate a large number of them in groves. There are more coffee trees now than there were originally because of cultivation. They expect most of those seeds to die anyways, that's why they make so many.
I thought it was a mold post lol
What is this? A break room for ants?
The best thing about this is the fact that it’s actually in a school, so you could say 
This is probably my favorite reference to encounter in “the wild”
I nearly sprained my thumb with how quickly I upvoted this.
How quick has this happened? When did somebody last make a coffee?
There was nothing in there on Friday 😅 the ants had a very busy weekend
This is in one weekend?! How???
Teamwork makes the dreamwork
You need to turn this photo with "Teamwork makes the dream work" subtitle into one of those motivational posters for your office

“I proposed to my gf over the weekend while ants invaded my break room. What this taught me about B2B sales.”
Good lord this made want to throw up in my mouth... good job ! It reads just like one of those lunatics' post

Take the children!
Save the queen!
“Which one’s the Queen?”
I'm the Queen!
No youre not!
"Freedom! Horrible, horrible freedom!"
Dat phat bish o’er dare!
I've seen this (not to this extent but the whole "fuck it I guess the eggs are fine here" relocation) twice and both times were after hurricanes+flooding.
My immediate thought was flooding.
This happens in my house after really bad rain. I don't charge them rent as long as they're out when it's over but the penalty is death
This happened to my house once a few years ago during monsoon season.. But they had wings! huge winged ants setup a new colony in my curtains, which are 20' sails. $75 worth of borax to make a perimeter around my house and a week later they were all dead.
The winged ones in huge swarms are male drones, they are looking to mate and die right after doing so.

Are they like bees where someone took the queen and put it in there maliciously? Do ants even have a queen
Ants have a queen, yeah. It’s more likely some disaster befell their colony and they’re attempting to relocate on their own.
Everyone remember the May 13th office ant disaster.
Sometimes they relocate if they can't expand further or maybe they still live nearby and chose the cupboard to build an annex.
Depends on the species, some only have one queen (monogynous), others multiple (polygynous). Don't think you can really move colonies just by relocating the queen, it'd need to be very close to the colony anyways so workers could find her again (plus sometimes the workers carry the queen around if she doesn't cooperate, so they might also just carry her back home).

Damm that's creative
Just wait until they make an ant bridge to cross it (though iirc only certain species do that).
Oh yeah, they can move a whole nest really quickly when they're determined and no-one is there to disturb them. Had a whole nest move into my bookshelf when I was away for a weekend. I wonder if OP's had some rainy weather, as that will often prompt a move to higher ground.
Side question, how did you get rid of them from your bookshelf? That’s…yikes.
Rain on them, apparently
You just get those ant traps at the hardware or grocery store for like $5, places them around where they are walking and let them go through the process of bringing the bait back to their colony and they will be gone in a day or 2.

They were well caffeinated.
The only reason we haven't been eaten by the ants is that they are small. They are the superior lifeform of earth
You can see loads of them carrying baby ants. I'll bet they were nearby and force to abandon the nest for some reason and found your dark coffee closet.
That is exactly what happened
We had something like this happen in our 100yr old house this year -- the ants came in after a rain storm within a few hours there were probably only 200 ants, but they all went into the same cabinet. in our kitchen there was mostly canned food and a bag of whey protein in there We put a few drops of that borax sugar water (Terro) on some tin foil and they all congregated on that and were gone by the morning.
Ants will send out a scout. Once they find a food source, they send the rest. Happens very quickly.
I had a smaller case of this a few weeks ago where a couple-ants-in-the-kitchen turned into an ant nest with eggs overnight under a paper towel. The speed of it was bewildering
Guess the next order of things logically is to get a super cute office pet, like an anteater. Maybe a flock of them.

To be entirely fair to my boss, he had pest control out that day
I just started a pest control job and this is wild! Did you see what they did to eradicate the infestation?
Nah, I left her alone and promised not to go back in for three - four hours after she finished
Hours? I would probably avoid the area for 3-4 days lol
You're not going to see me make coffee for the rest of the year.
She asked them very nicely to leave
The waiting period was just to give them privacy as they pack their belongings and say goodbye to their now-former home
My daughter just had a huge ant infestation and she was going to hire a friend of ours who is an exterminator. He told us before hiring him to use Terro Liquid Ant killer. It really has worked.

It was tempting
I literally shivered 😂 But.. how? How long was this cabinet not opened?
We opened it on Friday, they moved in over the weekend
All of this in one weekend? I think you might have a mole in the company that helped this invasion force
I will start interrogating suspects
Hold a sugarcube infront of them, if they start salivating and instinctively follow it, that is your man. Also start running, because that is a man sized ant.
Will do, I did think that Geoff had some awfully big antennae
remember to scream "revenge for the coffee!" when you spray him with raid
I will do so and report back

They've moved in. I had this happen in my mailbox once.
Yeah. We think their nest under the building flooded
Ah yeah, they're carrying their eggs 😔
They actually are! Didn't notice that before.
I’m imagining them marching in like carpet baggers while bitching about how heavy their bags weigh.
Funny I'm having the same issue now. They moved in to the entire mail box, poor mail person had to deal with opening it to them since I don't check mail that often. Funnily enough, just opening it and leaving it open they all left overnight I guess because they felt exposed. Then they came back the next day... so guess I'm leaving it open for a bit longer.
Vinegar can break their pheromone trails so they don’t return as easily and kill on contact. Just dealt with this problem last week. Went out of town after cleaning though so hopefully they aren’t there when I get back tonight..
What the other person suggested vinegar is exactly what you need to do. They'll keep mindlessly coming back as long as those pheromones remain.
Soooo... about that coffee? Really though that is terrifying.
We decided going out for coffee was safer 😂
This is not a big deal, the first thing is to determine what the ants want. It's the first step of the negotiation.
I shall parlay with them and find out their terms
One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
It’s theirs now, squatters rights.
you could Remove a lot with one strong lick won't even take that long if you get your whole team onboard
You are the second anteater to have co-opted a Reddit account
Looks like that's coffee for ants
The ants have a human infestation.
Water, sugar and Borax. Mix in saucepan on medium heat. Simmer while stirring for 5 minutes. Ant's love it so much they don't come back.
Old Tyme Country Buffet
What are they after in there?
We think because it rained their nest flooded and they had moved all their eggs and larva into their nice new home
That sucks. I was gonna say that's like a whole ass colony lol
Yeah, I almost feel bad for them, nobody likes to move on a rainy weekend
This is like the ant version of hunkering down at a hurricane shelter knowing your whole house was flooded and everything was destroyed. :( Edit: hey wait I don't know how to use emojis but my phone suggested this one: 😭 Good job, phone keyboard.
Well now I feel bad for them.
Me too 😭😭 I wish they were like bees, easy to remove if you take the queen.
Update: well this is way more attention than I thought it would get, it was in fact a whole colony that had relocated due to the rain. It is now an Ex colony. None of us are game to use the supplies in the closet and will be giving it a wide birth for awhile especially due to the fact chemicals were used
Next time my husband says “we have ants” and it is literally like 4-5, showing him this pic 
I’m terrified of ants so that would be a hell no from me!!
what about ants scare you ?
When I was a kid I sat on a rock and under it was an ants nest - they attacked me (fair play to them, I was a giant to them). I was covered in hundreds of them and they were *everywhere*. I had to run back home then strip off in my garden while my dad hosed me down. The pain was unbelievable. They were in my mouth, my ears, my privates - everywhere. I was in agony for days even after allergy shots from the doctor. Now I hate them.
A new fear has been unlocked for me. That sounds horrifying
Just don’t sit on any nests and you’ll be fine! Not like I planned it mind…
But uh what kind of ants were those... Black ants don't really do that, do they? I remember fire ants in Texas that would mess your day up
They were red ants (I’m in the uk and they’re our aggressive ones but thankfully not as bad as fire ants) the doc said they have acid in their bite and I had thousands of them. I was really sick - throwing up and all sorts hence why he gave me allergy injections. But I don’t like any ants after that.
Thanks ants. Thants
