Watch this antkeeper deal with a major fire ant breech in his home

Mikey from Ants Canada woke up one day to his worst nightmare: his fire ants had escaped from their enclosure. Watch how he corrals all the escapees and manages to return most of them alive.

Regular viewers know that this colony has been plotting this escape for years:

Better luck next time, ants!
