This is near to my heart (as I fight the ants in my yard continously). While I am perverting your model to some degree Dmek, check this. I would go after the ants in my yard with whatever I have, as to do nothing, invites further, and more intensifying ant, attack problems. I will organize and execute the most logical strategy (and I do) based on the information available, and the resources at hand.
While I may not always have the perfect plan in mind, doing something, rather than nothing helps to reduce their number, or at least help to keep them at bay.
