Micro-ants could be bred to feed on nothing but human hair. Would then be introduced to face and beard growth would then become a thing of the past.

Of course micro-walls/hedges would have to be also used to keep the ants confined to micro fields. Unless of course you like the skinhead look.

       Brings a whole new slant to the phrase, "Ants in your pants."

       You could have hit on a biggie here. There could be the potential for a whole range of ant hairdressing styles and just think about the related products formulated and controlled by Laboratoire Slancaster. Also, no more nasal hair removers or beard trimmers -Saves a fortune in batteries and recharging.

       Control would be your problem, all right. Hair spiders might keep them under check in the upward direction--specially bred spiders that only live in the shaggier, darker forests of the human pelt, I mean. Perhaps you'd rub a little ant-appetizer solution on the hairy areas you wished to denude?

       Great idea. Even better if you could train them to eat in formation and create interesting symmetrical bare patches (kind of like corn circles). Or something.

       How about genetically modified "crabs" for bikini lines?

       Oh - I thought this was going to be a shaver for ants. Becasuse in fact, they are a bit hairy up close. Same goes for wasps (and gorillas).

       Why ants? Are leeches too powerful for your delicate follicles?
—Snippity, May 04 2001
   

       Naaah! Leeches suck! I'm already working on ideas for the advertising. Locusts - Because I'm worth it!

       ...and besides, Gilette would never let you get away with it.

       Thank you, UnaBubba, for sparing us. I believe I was counted among the sick, after your last little speech about that whack-a-mole worm...
—absterge, May 04 2001
   

       Ants huh? Now that's weird. Controlling them where to eat would be hard. And leeches?! Those are too big to eat hairs!   

       What ever happened to an acid that dizzolves your hairs, but not your skin? Now that's a revolution.
