Default Will it kill an ant?
Is it possible to kill an ant by dropping it from a great height?

Doubt it, their terminal velocity would be too low I expect (besides that, some of them can fly).

they could build a colony in the dust of the vacum bag, unless you got one of them compacting ones.....

I know they don't survive a brake cleaner induced nest inferno..... but they don't come out on fire....

Default By falling killed an an cannot be from any height
Believe me, an ant cannot be killed by falling, from any height.

The force of impact required to invalidate the life force of such a small and indestructible life form cannot be produced from any combination of the laws formulated by the main man, Mr Newton.

E = 1/2 M x V x V

F = M x A

E = M x C x C (Mr Einstein's)
