A group of Buddhist monks in Malaysia is appealing for help to solve a problem with ants. Buddhism forbids devotees from harming any living creature. So the monks are looking for a creative and non-violent solution to deal with the insects, which are biting worshippers.

I think there are some smart and creative people that read this blog so I thought maybe we could all put our heads together to come up with a good way to help these monks take care of their ant problem without harming the ants. If you read the whole article it says that they already tried to vacuum them up and it didn't work, but surely there is another way. Please help!

Pet anteaters! At least 3 or 4. No more ants and no "blood" on the hands of the monks. It is just the circle of life.
Hmmm... What about blocks of cheese to attract all the ants to one place and away from people?
I would migrate and leave people alone for cheese...

P.S. I can't tell if your post was meant as a joke or not (in light of your comment...). If it was a joke, ignore my idealistic, unrealistic solution.

How about tape?
(i see my friend minty has infiltrated your blog?---nice, M!)
i was going to suggest baiting, too, though not cheese. maybe honey? it would be sticky like Paul's suggestion, yummy like Minty's and it would get the ants away...
taking it to "a whole nubba lebe": my business sense kicks in and i think the Monks should find a way to turn this into profit:
they could lay the honey out on cast iron planks, bait the ants, let them dry in the sun and sell the ant-honey stix as the latest natural protein craze.
yes, i do believe therin lies the answer.
