You are sure that they were ants and not
termites?

Hi
Does anyone have the definitive answer as to which has
the lowest DC and AC resistance? An ant or a termite?
Also, how does that resistance vary over time of use?
I want to see graphs and statistics. Different species
might also be an additional variable.

All kidding aside I assume that ants themselves are not conductive enough to
short 120VAC, instead its the moisture (or bug spray) on their surface that
bridges the gap for electricity.
