They are attracted to light. So are termites when they swarm. Indoors, they will invariably go for the windows during the day.

How do you kill flying ants?

Flying ants are attracted to light. I've tried this method before at home. Seeing flying ants fly underneath your white light? Try this! Pour some water (any temperature) into a dish. Place the dish underneath your white light. Because the water reflects the light, the stupid flying ants will fly down, thinking that it's another white light. I'd suggest to take another white light and put it near the dish of water, off the light installed on the ceiling of your wall and enjoy the violence...

Can ants see color?

Yes, ants can see colors. But they certainly see the color of an object different to us humans. This is due to following reasons: 1.) Ants have 4 different light absorbing pigments (humans only 3). 2.) They probably see UV light as a color. 3.) They probably see different directions of polarisation of the light as different colors. While most insects (for example bees and wasps) can not see red light, ants can. So, yes, it is most likely that they can distinguish the colors you are specifically interested in, red, orange, and yellow. The brain computes out of all the information delivered from all sensory vision cells one image. Sadly we still lack any real idea how this is done in ants. Therefore it is impossible to tell how this image looks like for a ant. One more warning: there are thousands of ant species. Most of what we know about ants comes from a very few species investigated. It is near sure, if scientists investigate further they will find surprises and exemptions to what I said.

Where does the gas in light bulbs come from?

Some light bulbs have gases added to them at the time of manufacture. Noble gases help to keep the electrode material from bonding to the envelope (the dark areas that build up near the ends of an aged fluorescent light bulb are causede by this effect). Otherwise, gases enter a lightbulb's envelope via diffusion through the membrane or along the electrode / envelope interface.
