How do you deter ants?

If it is bigger than usual it is a red carpenter ant even regular red ants have black on their abdomen. It is a stinger it just blends in with black ants.

i belive you do i was going to get it but its small

they sort by using the queens hormons to make the ants do certain actions

Do what ants normally do except in a close contained area/environment, they make ant farms so you can see the ants and what they do since it normally all happens underground, and ant farms are see...

if there is a small gap the very smal ants can escape but ants like lasius Niger (average garden ant,black and fast)cant get through small gaps
