This reminds me of a story.

Seeing ants in his kitchen and deciding that he could just vacuum the little
pests away, he sucked them up, but while he was doing this he realized that
the once he had them all sucked up they were still going to be alive, so he
decided on the expedient method of gassing the little buggers. He opened
the gas valve on the stove and sucked some gas into the nozzle.

Boom.

The vacuum cleaner exploded when the gas hit motor.

The worst part was that the ants survived the explosion.

Can't you build an Ant Farm? I mean raise and harvest them in a
colony?
