Ants are teetotalers

We have methods to take care of ants be it in the garden or inside the house
Inside the house they are mostly seen in the kitchen where food is kept and also sometimes on the dining table But they cannot reach the food as we keep everything in moats. Ants cannot swim. We keep cats' food also in a moat
On the floor we sprinkle Notix as mild insecticide.
The only exception is wine. The wine in glasses is not touched by the ants. The conclusion therefore is that ants are teetotalers.
Have you noticed that? Or may be your ants are not

Yes, that must be it.
Decades ago my mom would have ants come into her kitchen window, so she’d pour out a line of cinnamon across the window ledge, and the ants never crossed it. Eventually, when they could afford it, they put in new windows, and their problem ceased.2 people like this

Cinnamon is pretty expensive but I got to learn something about ants not liking cinnamon as well

@allknowing I haven't bought cinnamon in awhile, but all those years ago it was fairly inexpensive. I should have expected by now that probably would have changed.

@allknowing In the past it was, but today even I put sugar on the table all the time, but no ants at all. It is hardly to see an ant today, very strange.

@youless Here they are normally seen when it starts raining. Yesterday there were huge ants and I dusted the floor with Notix and they disapapeared.

We get them at the start of the monsoon season and I use those methods to get rid of them

I see here we can control by just making sure food spills and drinks are cleaned as soon as they occur .
I have never used any insecticide to control them

We have pets here and so they spill while eating but it is taken care of immediately

@Laurakemunto We have a very efficient system to take care of ants and they just appear form nowhere but disappear with equal speed
