Default Just how strong are common house ants?

Gettin' scared here. I had a wee problem with ants infesting kitchen-
I'm a slob, and house is far from tight. So, along with cleaning up
the counters and crumbs on floor, a day or so ago I put out 4 of the
typical cheap bait stations. Got home from work today, and 3 had been
moved a little, but the 4th was outright GONE. I looked all over for
it- under appliances, etc.

Is this typical? Or do I have some uber-ants hiding in the walls?

(Note- not really a Google poster- my real ISP is having news server
problems.)



They're pretty strong, not strong enough to pick up an ant trap alone, but
some ants do work as a team. Maybe they found your trap to be particularly
delicious and decided to carry it back to the nest?


It's an act of God. Therefore it wont be covered by your homeowners
insurance. God was probably really hungry and liked the taste of the
ant poison. If God is found dead today, it's all your fault.
