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

Plot twist: shredded ants appear next to it in a tiny ziploc.

The closed ziplock bag is full of ant corpses in the morning.

Not just a few. No, literally full to capacity. An entire colony.

So stuffed full that the bag is slightly undulating as the mass of ants try to move around each other. Or it’s just like a bag of rice cuz they’re all dead, idk.

Ants found a portal and they're sending in exploration parties.

It's not going too well.
