The other group had found ants living inside the box girders that form
their Landrover's chassis. They drove them from one end of the vehicle
to the other three times, using boiling water and insecticide and
completely stripping their stuff out each time, before they were able
to get rid of them.

Are you sure your ants are confined to your tail group and not getting
into the wheel box or under the seat pan?

NEWS FLASH!

UPI, Normally disingenuous but otherwise unreliable sources report that a
glider pilot
has been eaten alive by an army of army ants while flying in wave at Minden.

The FAA has issued emergency AD-101003-ANT-1 grounding all gliders until
spring (PW5s were excluded for cosmetic reasons as they were deemed unlikely
to attract ants).

Getting off the topic a lttle bit, there was a grade B Sci-Fi movie in the
early 70's called "Phase Four" or "Phase IV" about an ant colony that developed
heightened intelligence and was adapting rapidly to poisons used to eradicate
it. Each poison in turn was a different color and resulted in ants breeding to
match that color, the movie ended with the hero scientist being eaten by the
ants he was trying to destroy. The feeling of paranoia pervades the entire
movie, definitely worth a rental.
