Cool way to get rid of ants and make some art.

What You Get When You Pour Molten Aluminum Into An Ant Hill - Digg

I think that person has already been contacted by PETA.

I'd also like to know where that person lives.If I had an anthill that big in my yard I don't think I'd want to let the dog out anymore.

oh sure, show this video when there is a foot of snow on the ground. i have a few hundred lbs of wheel weights i want to try that with lol.
pretty cool effect .
the ants probably didnt appreciate their new aluminum siding ,though

How many rolls of foil did he have to melt to get that much molten aluminum?

I saw a program on TV where they were doing this only with molten Zinc. Melts at a lower temp but the aluminum cast must be a lot easier to handle.

Good way to interact with wild life anyway,,get the children involved.
I saw a few of the critters running away when they were pouring.
A little extra splash could have got'em.

You have to hand it to him- he's creative. How many other people, aside from exterminators, have looked at an ant hill and said "I can make money using that ant hill"?

What id like to know is: How many innocent Ants died in the making of that film?

 

[BillK01]

That's pretty amazing.

 

[Buckey08]

Not enough!

yeah, that would make some impressive headgear for the discerning paranoid.

 

[Old TexMex]

That's Insecticidal.

Not nearly enough.

If you have any ants, their colony is probably at least that big.

We have a serious ant problem at our house. I'm sure I could make a casting much bigger, but who wants to dig it up?

The end result

It doesn't look like much at first but the end result is pretty amazing.

 

[LVSteve]

No less than Fire Ants deserve IMHO.

 

[Thuer]

OK, I have seen it all now. I am amazed. The result looks great.

I did set an ant hill on fire (when i was a kid) but that was nice.



A Swedish artist used the same principle with brass,
but on gunshot cavities in ballistic gel.

 

[O2Guy]

I had to open this one to see what was claimed to be better than using a magnifying glass on ants. This has to be a close second.

that was pretty entertaining at the end i thought he was gunna decorate it like a christmas tree
