Good for you Gary D. ;)
If they moved in, maybe you can place some pictures of there nest.
Hi,
It is true that adult ants must feed on liquids but many Myrmicinae like much oil from nuts and seeds. Adult can feed also on hemolimph (arthropod blood ) .Some Myrmicinae larvae also process solid food and regurgitate processed liquids to the workers. So sugars (in any separate form )are far from indispensable for many sort of ants. On the other hand for Formicinae like Lasius ,Paratrechina, Prenolepsis Oecophile ,Camponotus... the divers sugars constitute by far the biggest part of their food intake it is also the case for Dolichoderinae, Ponerinae and so... Ants like Tetramorium and Pheidole are doing very well on insects and seeds without any separate sugar.
