It means the fear of ants.
Now I don't really fear ants, unless they come with poisonous bites, in millions and I'm somehow lying immobilised on the ground, on their route march path.
But it is always the last thing I wanna see when I open the bike cover of my Aprilia, whom had been lying dormant in the carpark for weeks, exposed to the ravages of Singapore's merciless weather and tropical hazards.
And this time, not only did I find ants, I found them in abundance. Usually they like to shift their nest into the foam seats where it's damp and porous. However this time round, not only did they settle in the seat, they decided to breed in the electrical brain of the motorcycle.

Normal looking valve motor controller...

...is actually KK Hospital for ants!
This is only less then half of what was inside. Most of them escaped after inhaling the Baygone spray. Thankfully, the electronics are protected in epoxy resin, so no harm done. I think.
I'm just wondering what do they feed on when they reside on my bike...hmm....
