To win at their game, you have to know how ants think. They eat sugar and oil, but the sugar must have water content, if you spill pure powered sugar, they wont take it. If you dissolve sugar into hot water and let it cool, then soak it up with a sponge they'll drink from the sponge, it must have some level of moisture, so they'll eat things like jelly and peanut butter, but for different reasons (jelly because of sugar & water, peanut butter because of peanut oil)
Ya, I've did my reading...the issue is they're not coming for my stuff, it must have been the last tenant, I'm extremely picky about food being around ANYWHERE, I've also lived in a rooming house where roaches were an unfortunate part of life with zero point in even trying to be rid of them.
Since I live in a building thats similar to that concept with multiple units (and a fucking retard with plants growing right next door outside), its safe to say they're probably feeding there or WERE feeding here off some nasty mofo before me until they gutted the place and shes using some form of pest control thats driving them in this direction.
I had ant baits laid out and they were taking it home, but I'm not very patient and when one crawled on me I went nuclear...fuckers still came back and nothing usually survives that when its just me on one floor.
Unfortunately the problem doesn't seem to be mine alone, so I spray foamed the entrance with shit they despise overkill style...I'm hoping thats enough to make them find a new location permanently.
I'm not an expert, but I think what different types of ants will eat makes all the difference
You could have fooled me, this sounds like a post I read from a professional exterminator site
At first I thought it was a copy and paste until I read about the jars and chips haha.
especially my nuts
Sounds like a personal problem
Oh wait, so does this
never mind
I'm no expert on sacks of nuts, but i assume they all get covered in sweat if you actually do anything lmao.
Needless to say, keep a close eye on your nuts, and keep your junk clean.
Scary part is, I just mopped the entire place, organized, etc, etc...right before I noticed them.
I was JUST getting settled and bam...they're definitely not from or after my junk
I had to remove a previous reply because this got so fucked up hahaha. Thanks for the advice, and the laugh.
