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.
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.
Ants are more likely to be attracted to sugar due to their preference for sweet foods. While some species of ants may be attracted to cheese as a source of protein, the majority of ants will be drawn to sugary substances.
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.
