Ants took over American suburbia after WWII because of the increase in grass sod and ornamental plants.

Some guy in China named Ant has a cool photo collection of WWII toys.

We went to war against them The federal government tried to destroy them by using WWII bombers to dust millions of acres with ant poison. Well, that not only killed the ants, but also opossums, dogs, birds, fish, raccoons, and cattle. But that did not stop those determined critters. Read more here:
