I'm coming up on my year anniversary of being in the backyard and now I can't even go anywhere near the ant hill with out the game locking up due to the massive overpopulation of the ant colony.

Pretty much anywhere I go that has more then 4 ants in a small area and my game starts to really lag till I kill them.  Im able to deal with it everywhere else in the backyard but the ant hill.

As soon as i get close it tottaly locks up and I can't move.  Took me 15 minutes just to turn around and get out of the infected area.  Please please please rework the ant code or prefered limit the amount of ants at a time in game.   It seems like they have continued to populata this entire year.  I just want the valuable quarts in them hills. 

Multiple posts about this same issue. They said they are working on a patch. Hopefully it will get out soon. Until then, you need to really try to keep ant population down in nest by clearing it out. I do this every 3-4 days in-game.
