One upon a time there was an old woman who had a compulsive disorder of keeping and collecting things. She kept paper products, books, boxes, empty food cartons and more. Her one story slab home was so cluttered, that she only had small narrow pathways that lead to the bathroom, kitchen, and living room where she shared her couch with several small pets. For many years, she complained of always being bitten by ants. She hired pest companies every year that would unsuccessfully spray pesticides on the exterior of her home. Finally, one day her siblings called a home inspector to investigate. The home inspector found that all the underground slab ductwork was filled 50% with sand. The home inspector also found thousands and thousands of dead red ants throughout the home. Finally, the home inspector found “kibbles-n-bits” and “Purina-Cat-Chow” under the concrete kitchen floor slab and inside the supply ductwork. Apparently, the older women’s idea of cleaning her home was sweeping the “kibbles n bits” and “Purina Cat Chow”, from the kitchen floor into the under slab supply heat ductwork. Millions of red ants were living under her home, under the concrete slab, and under each room of her home. These red ants removed sand that existed under the concrete floor so they could make their nests and galleries. These red ants move each grain of sand into the ductwork until the under slab ductworks was filled 50% with sand. The ants would leave there nests and travel to the kitchen though the 50% sand filled under slab ducts to eat kibbles-n-bits and Purina-cat-chow. There you have it, the “Indoor-Red-Ant-Eco-System”.
