Ants Ring Doorbell All Night

Did you play "Ring and Run" as a kid? Ahhh, the joy of hiding in the bushes watching someone come to the door. Okay, this is nothing like that. Nor is it some amazing animal trainer with a unique act. An elderly woman in Germany called police to complain about someone constantly ringing her doorbell at 3 a.m. So dispatchers sent someone to investigate and they found an ant nest next to the doorbell. They say the ants had built such a big home that the nest pressed the switching elements together, keeping the bell ringing. I guess the 75-year old gal didn't use her front door too much! Anyway, police did a little scraping with a knife and the ringing ants went silent. DB
