There's a Massive ANT WAR Happening in My Backyard | 'The Battle for Antopia'

It's going down! The ants in the backyard of my new 'Ant House' are all engaged in an epic ant war over the territory, known as Antopia, and its resources, but who ends up winning this war will have an impact on the local ecosystem. The native ants of the area have long ruled these ancestral lands for millions of years, but I've discovered that today they defend their grounds from invasive ants, newcomers whose sole purpose is to seek, destroy, and conquer.
Join me as I map out the encampments of all the ant tribes from the two groups: Team Native Ants vs. Team Invasive Ants, stationed around the yard, to see if we should be concerned for the safety of all life in the area. Hope you guys enjoy this week's episode! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution. #AntWars #Antopia #AntHouse

But guys, there's one thing: A lot of you are saying I should kill the fire ant colonies via boiling water... 😭 Ahhhh I'm torn. Should I? A part of me says it's cruel because we have always loved fire ants on this channel, but another part of me says it's for the greater good of Antopia! What should I do, guys. Pls help!

I've seen a ant war before it was a ruthless war between termites and ants the ant were all spread out between a sidewalk and the termites were along the trees and bushes and me and my brother were with the ants! But the war was not going good for the ants and we did a little research around the sidewalk and the ants were out numbered by 3 to 1 and were losing so we decided to help the ants by giving them food and help we would go hunting to find crickets and bugs and supply the ants and we would fight the termites together 😁

Also, the Carebara diversa (Asian Marauder ant) you said where hanging out with the Pheidole (Big Headed ant) are actually just Pheidole majors (I say "just" but their still pretty cool) Edit: 11:02 Those ants are a species of Monomorium, Monomorium floricola, to be exact, so it's native Edit 2: The fire ants on the tree are probably just the invasive species, Solenopsis geminata.

[@ahgetouttaere7808]

I love how at the midpoint of the video antscanada said to pour boiling hot water on the fire ant colony multiple times That might not even do something because when i was much younger, my step-father poured a large amount of gasoline on a fire ant hill, lit it on fire, and dug up the ant hill And then the ant colony was back again, and he lit it ablaze a second time To this day that ant hill is still there despite the fact it was lit on fire, and dug up, twice in a row

[@justaidan445]

He really loves ants and worked so hard to make this vid with all the zooming and drone camera above give this man a raise

[@ammo209]

You probably will not see this but the “unknown” ants are:monomorium floricola Same genus as pharaoh ants 🐜 Not sure if their native or invasive tho

[@faizarahman57]

Looks like it. Monomorium floricola is native. Team native has 8 to invasive's 5

[@elimckenna7287]

Thank you

[@leugimmanio8595]

They are invasive so 7-6

[@leugimmanio8595]

But they are all over the world so maybe 8-6

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the ants on the ant house site. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Queen ant. From what I can gather she commands the ghost ants from an Imperial Land Tank outside of the site. She is well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on the site. (For all who are asking, yes it’s a destiny reference!!)
