I think the information will be very useful.     

The only ways I have found to deal with Giant Ants are:
     1)  Find a ring of "maintain strength"
     2)  Kill all of them with the "Great Boon of Genicide" scroll
                (by the way,  what do other people use this for?) 
     3)  Run away...very, very fast
