household rfid?
ok, here’s a benign use of rfid tags. honey coat a tag and then let the ants currently overrunning your kitchen take it back to their nest. then use the tag and triangulation to figure out where the hive is, so you can interrupt the flow of ants from the hive to your kitchen.
i don’t want to kill them, i just want to fill the right cracks. maybe give them a small food offering in the other direction…

although do you actually have holes in your walls that are big enough for rfid tags to get through? i think there’s your problem right there.

i guess i could just leave them out in the yard still honey coated, since i’ve seen ants taking away entire picnic tables of food. but how big are those tags anyway? i was assuming they can make them super small now, but maybe that’s still science fiction…

I thought some were small as grains of sand, an element of their scariness for me.

Ya, I’m not sure. Probably getting smaller and smaller though over time and as we all get more clever.
