A second user commented, 'The new ants are 100% going to dismember your local ants. Actually the quickest way to get ant colonies out of your yard is to dump another colony on top and let them go to war.'
Another user, @elemanucuyor, commented, 'That's animal cruelty, there are thousands of free videos of ant care on YouTube. Using your brain is free.'
A few users even shared their own stories of ant farms and unexpected messes.

Check out the post here: She captioned it, 'Back in Dubai after what feels like a lifetime…🤍 Growing up here gave me so many core memories and seeing how much the city has evolved was both surreal and heartwarming. One of the highlights was visiting this beautiful Hindu temple—peaceful, powerful, and a reminder of how far this city has come in embracing culture and community ♥️🙏🏻 Grateful for the growth, the roots, and the reconnection." Chahal breaks silence on podcast Her post comes just days after Chahal addressed their divorce publicly for the first time on Raj Shamani's podcast. Reflecting on the viral moment when he wore a T-shirt reading 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' on the day of their final divorce hearing, Chahal explained, 'Mujhe drama nahi karna tha, I just wanted to give one message—and I did.' A message, not drama While the cricketer clarified that he hadn't intended to create drama, he hinted that something from Dhanashree's side had pushed him to respond.

'Ab sambhaal lo, ab mujhe nahi parwah kisi ki,' he continued, explaining that his T-shirt was meant as a message, not abuse—a moment of personal closure rather than confrontation.
