My husband used to freak out about the termites until I showed him how long they survive inside a house. It's not very long at all, probably just minutes before they dry up. We have lots of termites in the south and I set traps for them. I make the traps out of a couple of cheap plastic organizer baskets (with the slots in the sides) with a bunch of wet cardboard stuck between them. I mash the organizers together as hard as I can, then tie them together. Next, I take them out to an old dead tree or log where I've found termites before, dig a small hole next to it, place my little trap in there, and cover it up. After a couple 3 weeks or so, I'll check it and I usually find a pretty nice group of fat n happy termites. I store them in an airtight tupperware container with a lot of damp cardboard for munching. They LOVE that stuff! And my darts love termites - it's like giving candy to kids, so it's a treat, not a meal. But it also works in an emergency if my cultures crash.

Now, down south, we have these horribly nasty fire ants. When you mentioned 'ants', I nearly freaked. I know of a biology teacher in Miami who lost one frog and another was badly injured when her students unknowingly tried to feed them fire ants. I'm hoping that whatever ants you're thinking of don't sting like these nasty devils.

Funny story - we were having problems with rodents in the attic and my husband works with a lady from Terminix. She said that she'd send her guys out to check the house. I didn't realize that it meant that they were checking for termites as well, so when the guy asked if I had seen any, I said 'Sure'. 'Where?' he asked. I reached down, picked up my tupperware container full of termites and handed it to him. He really didn't know what to say, except that he'd never, in all his years of exterminating termites, find someone who was actually HAPPY to have some on hand. The rest of the house checked out okay.

I'd skip the ants, tho -

Lol I bet he was confused
maYbe when you get some good rain or a good amount of dart snacks I could buy some?
