About 20 years ago there was an infestation of them in the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga city council was coming around deploying ant bait around people’s houses for free.

Pale green stuff dispensed from a caulking gun, seemed to do a good job.

Most of the complaints seem to centre around it not looking at all like a house anymore. In fact some were referring to it as the “baseball home plate”.

Another comment noted that the branching bears a striking resemblance to the USB logo.

The older simplified icon to my mind was perfect:

Not so much detail on the tree, but enough shape to still be recognisable as a house.
