Lucylastic -> Crazy Ants with a taste for electrics (5/18/2008 5:27:28 AM)

Computer users in Houston may encounter more bugs than anywhere else in the country.
The bugs in question are crazy rasberry ants, which are named not for their flavor, but for their inscrutable meanderings and for past efforts by exterminator Tom Rasberry to eliminate them. Supposedly, crazy rasberry ants are fond of electronics.
According to Associated Press writer Linda Stewart Ball, the ants "are invading homes and yards across the Houston area, shorting out electrical boxes and messing up computers."
