Because when the magical purple elephants from mars came to earth, they had a crate of sugar, and all the ants ate all of it. Since, the elephants were mad, they put a curse on them, so now they can't eat sugar, so they prefer ranch dressing.
Because they like it
your dume you don't no about ants
they prefer now and laters because they dont melt.
They prefer sugary foods to most other foods.
It depends on what type of ants they are. So prefer to eat other bugs, some like only fungus, some only like seeds. It may also mean there are other ingredients in the sugar such as anti caking agents that the ants find distasteful.
Sugar for more species as more are sweet eaters, however if you want to play it safe, there are what they call dual choice baits for ants that like sweets and those that prefer proteins all in one.
Sugar is best for most, since most are sweet eaters. There are a few species that do prefer proteins & many baits have both-just in case.
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.
well i did a project with cane sugar, powered cane sugar, brown sugar, and splenda. the ants liked the powered sugar the best.
only sugar ants
Well sugar is used to make what some of the ants eat MORE enjoyable.
