       @matt Can humans fight ants? Leave that to the Americans! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0120201/(On a more serious note: we can and we do. It's called neonicotines. And they are working: insect rates collapsing worldwide at alarming rates. Ants are closely related to bees. We know their story)

       @matt I don't know if I CAN, but if it's over sugar for my coffee, I definitely WILL FIGHT ALL 20 QUADRILLION of them.

       @veer66 Not sure, but mosquito only live for 10 to 14 days anyway. Not much to live for. Ants are 8 to 10 weeks, so they got some time and experience to do some damage.

       @matt I agree. Ants eat the entire human body except bones. Mosquitos can drink only blood. They are very picky.
