That's not a good analogy. Molten metal invading the ant habitat kills them. Ant invading your habitat annoys you.

Most people I know poison the ants when they are in the house.

But it annoys him A LOT! How dare indiginous life on this planet invade his artificially built home that happens to have been built on the habitats of others animals..

That's something only someone isolated from nature, and living in an "artificially built home" would say.

People living close to nature need to defend their habitats from "indigenous life", from rats to ants and all kinds of pests all the time.

Homo sapiens are indigenous life on this planet. From a neutral perspective, homo sapiens' "nests" are no more artificial than an anthill. And when an ant colony invades an already-existing house--indeed, how dare they.
