		cr0sh on Aug 30, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A Floating Mass of Fire Ants in Texas It makes me wonder if you couldn't use one of those "foam guns" or something similar to spread a bunch of such soap around? Or maybe whatever system they use to lay fire-fighting foam down at airports? Maybe just fire-fighting foam itself? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefighting_foam

Surfactants don't need much to do their work. A spray bottle with diluted soap would probably start the process of sinking the raft.
