Any antomologists here? Is this true or just made up?

ever since the tilted burgers hoax I find myself questioning every bit of realistic-sounding factoid

So it gets hard when they spit on it, just like your mom does to my dick.

The area around the hole is covered in the dirt and saliva of the hundreds who come in and out of the hole every day, eventually producing so much spit and fifth, that it creates a small dirty hill around the edges of the hole.
Not unlike, I suspect, the contents of your mother’s knickers.

I found that boiling water was the best way to kill the nests that were too close to the house.

I just assumed it was because the ants were breaking it up to dump outside their tunnels. Seems to have been pretty close, but I never would have thought about ant saliva.

I’ve never seen ants make a hill in New Zealand. Why don’t our ants build hills? These seem like the same common black ants I see everywhere else.

Because they’re ant hobbits
