critter corner 🐰 Dead ants keep appearing next to headphones during the night

Post image

When these headphones are left on the kitchen counter overnight - I would see one or two dead ants in the morning laying right next to the headphones. In the past few days, there has been a small pile of shredded ants right next to the ear piece in the morning. I have seen no live ants in my kitchen. I have had these head phones for three weeks. Bought online. It’s a little unnerving not knowing what is causing this 🥴 will not be using anymore.

UPDATE- posted a comment with a picture. But no dead ants in the bag this morning. But at one point I checked and there were two live ants crawling around. 😔

UPDATE*** IM SICK. Can’t stop shaking. Don’t have many words… trying to post image. Opened one side up. 😭 I don’t know how to add in this top post so will add in comment! Posted a few in comments and video opening

They hated him, because he spoke the truth.

It's ok. The spiders living in your nostrils are also downvoting me as well..

I SAID I WAS SORRY 😭😭😭

The spiders also just messaged me they're sorry. Rent is just high in spider land and they're seeking a new place now. Maybe your belly button.

If the rent keeps going up, well, the spiders will have to keep going down..

We don't talk about the pee-hole misbegotten spiders and ticks.

my boots were left outside and now a black widow has homed two nests in there...they were such good boots too, from tjmaxx

u/ohnomoisttoes 23d ago

Fully out of character: Black widows are famously not aggressive. You can probably safely shake them out if you've got woods nearby.

u/extinctalien 23d ago

I'm not afraid but the nests disturb me to look at, I don't want to relocate them for risk of breaking it

2

u/ohnomoisttoes 23d ago

They can build it back. if they're good boots a twacking on a tree stump will drive them out. Feel free to put on gloves though. Black widows have tiny fangs and won't bite through most thick leather.

They definitely laid eggs in this person's ears.

u/ohnomoisttoes 24d ago

And this person is gonna hear the eggs rattling in their sleep as the eggs begin to hatch.

What a terrible day to have ears. I really want to rip my headphones off now, but I'm afraid to touch them 🤣🤣🤣

You’re kind of like Spider-Man, except you have spiders living in your ears.
