Come into work to find my desk covered in dead ants. But they are all clustering around my computer cable... Why?pic.twitter.com/TGup8bjrku
Is there a species of ant that live off electricity that I've never heard of? Are they jealous if my data and think they can steal it?
'Oh hey! Super nice cable you've got here'
'Aren't you going to eat my ryvita?'
'Nope. We'll stick with this cable'

So I might be 100% wrong but I have seen ants eating something in wall sockets back home and I __think__ there must be some kind of salt!?
I will Google though because I'm very curious. I have never seen this specific thing before.
Are you in the areas affected by this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasberry_crazy_ant#Attraction_to_electrical_equipment …
It says their death attracts others, so I guess that's it?
Yikes! Behaviour seems similar, although these ants are darker maybe, and I'm in the UK.
I'm surprised you have ants at work! Are they doing something about it? Ants at work is kind of serious imho.
Tell me about it. It's a pretty old office that sits on a roof so that's where the ants are coming from. I'm sure I'll get some help though
OK — good luck because 100% unacceptable and totally easy to start to deal with.
Thanks! It's good to be reminded about acceptable working conditions. This office doesn't necessarily meet many of those standards
