Crap, I found an entire colony of #ants living on some warm power bricks in our living room. I can't leave them like that since ants and electricity don't seem like a safe combination, and I'm about to leave town, but I feel so bad about unplugging the heat on their babies and I have no idea where they will relocate to!

I gave the ants a rabbits foot fern to hang out in, if they need a place to move to. It isn't a warm power brick, but it is a lot like the orchid I used to have a colony of ants living in on my kitchen counter. Otherwise, I have no idea where they are about to move to

My wife is being remarkably fine with the idea that we have a colony of ants that is about to move somewhere else, probably in our house.

Can you unplug the brick for a bit? It's the heat that they are attracted to.

I would use the bug vacuume on this situation. Move them outside in batches while looking for the queen. Any idea where they came from?

They are excited to heat their babies so they will grow up faster and the brick is the perfect temp.
