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.
you know what they say, aardvark never killed anybody
