Apr 1, 2023 at 9:26 | comment | added | Kristian | Also, we already have one push insecticide google.com/search?q=one+push+insecticide . That would act as area denial weapon. It's small enough to be put on breast pocket. In such world, carrying one might be mandated by law or by social pressure like wearing mask in covid-19 pandemic time | |
Apr 1, 2023 at 9:23 | comment | added | Kristian | On the opening act of the hostility, there might be many humans dead from ant's surprise attack. But after that we will learn that all ants are hostile and everyone will carry insecticide. I'm talking about the spray type. In order for ants to carry out their objective, they will need to appear in human territory. At that time, any human on site will just spray them. | |

Apr 1, 2023 at 7:13 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | How do you measure effectiveness? | |
Apr 1, 2023 at 6:03 | comment | added | Kristian | why everyday insecticide is not enough? it's harmless enough that anyone can buy in local convenience store (I'm guessing that with such adversary, there will be pressure to produce more of them or even government incentivizing or subsidizing its purchase to the point that it becomes like what mask is in post covid society) | |
