Sun light and man made light have two very different effects on ants.

Sunlight is natural and has nothing but good effects on ants.

If you put an ultra violet light down on an ant of course they would shrivel and die.

Thats like putting a human on the sun.

However sometimes sunlight does have effects on insects like when you see a worm dried up on the sidewalk. An ant can move faster to get out of very heated areas like a sidewalk on a hot day, however a worm can not!

However ants usually like shade and are most commonly found under rocks, dirt and grassy moist areas!

Hope this helps :)

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...
