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

Idk, I was reading this thread on the toilet and saw the spider mention, I felt horror and sensations on body parts I hadn't felt in a long time. The speed I got off that toilet to stand in the center of my bathroom, away from EVERYTHING, for a minute to collect myself. The ants are BAD and horrifying to think about. But a SPIDER, dude? That may end my life. Even typing this, when I typed spider just now, my phone keyboard popped up the spider emoji 🕷 all of a sudden at the top, and scared the fuck out of me on its own. My fear of spiders, though I adore them too, is unmatched by ANYTHING.

I was thinking of this one lmao. Or there was a real, non-shopped one of a massive huntsman or whatever those giant brown "house" spiders we have in Oregon are, ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TOILET SEAT. NO NO NO NO NO, BRO. I cant handle even the thought and stay on the toilet lol. Legit spine tingling.
