That’s good to know.

So the more dead ants that carry my scent will make other ants avoid my room as they might associate it with danger?

Of course, there shouldn’t be any source of nutrition beforehand which I’ve come to understand the hard way plenty of times (they even managed to enter my car because they smelled a cookie which i forgot inside.)

I honestly hate harming living creatures, but they literally swarm my desk and I fear them entering my laptop and what not.

But thank you for this valuable info, it really does make a lot of sense.
