Do you want them strong or do you want them weak and pliable

Ants are very industrious and hard working, give them some wheat seeds and they’ll go ahead and start their agricultural revolution.

If you want ants, eat something really crumbly and sugary, preferably something wet. An ice cream will do it- maybe one of those ones with sprinkles on top. Just go ham and be a sloppy removed, leave a huge mess behind, and wait.

Voila, ants. The more you leave, the larger your herd!

Just be aware that last a certain point they may tip over into having squatter’s rights and then start demanding sugary slop as rent from you if you aren’t careful. Many an honest ant rancher has had the unfortunate experience of suffering from their success.
