moving ants #764048
Asked July 26, 2021, 4:27 PM EDT
I threw a pizza crust out for the squirrel which he did not eat. I was going to throw it away the next day and it was covered with ants. My question is If I was to move that pizza crust with the ants on it to my boulevard where there are few ants would they start a new nest or just die? I would like more ants on my boulevard to help the claylike soil.

Expert Response
The ants will probably walk back to their nest. It takes a Queen to start a new nest. Putting out food ( sweet) and water on the boulevard might entice them to move.
Thank you very much! I will try the sugar on boulevard ...

Good luck, moist soil is an attractant too.
