Watched a nature TV prog on swarming behavior. Apparently these
ants have stowed away on planes and taken up residence in airports
in S USA states, infesting computers in air traffic systems, etc. No
mention in the program why jungle creatures have electric-charge
sensors in their antenna (stated in the narration) but they naturally
home in on live circuit boards apparently and then swarm all over,
causing mayhem. Anyone have any operational experience of PC
failure due to swarms of fire ants?

I purchased an anteater for insurance against a fire ant attack on my
electronics.

But won't the anteater's saliva leave conductive traces on the board? These
could cause anything from minor problems to catastrophic failure.
