They'll go over anything sweet. If you wan't to get rid of them, pour some honey on the ground and then just go inside watch tv or whatever, and when you come back there will be lots of ants. Now all you need to do is take the hose.. and "Bye Bye Ants"

Do ants prefer cheese or sugar?

It depends about the type of ant, and the season. I would say both are equally attractive, but the one with more moisture may be more palatable. so cheese. Think of ants more simply. ants are only after 3 types of food sources. Carbohydrates (normaly sugas), Protene (Normally other insects, meats) and water ( foods may contain water such as Soda, but ants may be found around a kitchen sink mainly for the water.) They lack the complex livers of mammals and cannot convert protene to energy. it is only used to create more ants. So they need a lot of it.
