Got an ant invasion story? We want to hear about it!

• Did a thousand tiny invaders ruin your elegant dinner party?
• Did they turn your kitchen into an ant metropolis overnight?
• Did you wage war, declare victory…. only to succumb later to a surprise counter attack?

If you’ve ever had such a run-in with ants, that felt like a horror film or sitcom gone wrong, we want to hear your story.

🔥 Submit your worst ant story and you could:

• Win a SWAG Bag from Rescue, manufacturer of eco-friendly insect baits and traps. (Purgula loves Rescue, because their products really work!)
• Earn eternal empathy
• Restore your faith in ant control by trying Rescue Ant Baits!

🕒 Deadline: August 31, 2025 11:59 PT

📬 Submit your written story (2,000 characters or less, including spaces), or video link (1-minute or less) in the submission form on this page.

Tell us your worst ant story — funny, gross, ridiculous, or gut‑wrenchingly real. Poems, limericks, prose, or just a quick story will work!

We prefer to receive written entries, but if you are a better speaker than writer — we understand — just confirm this in the written entry box and provide a link to a 1-minute or less video on one of the following platforms: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or X.

If it involves ants and regret, it belongs here!

Warning: Itchy flashbacks may occur.
