8. Ants won't eat anything containing bay leaf
garlic, or peppermint. They like specific things that will help their farms.

I wouldn't eat broccoli if I were starving, but many people consider it to be food:puke:
I had a dog that wouldn't eat popcorn, but I think it's a tasty food treat. To each their own!

9. depends on what type of ant it is
a lot of ants are sugar ants..they prefer sweet foods. Ramen is probably not attractive to sugar ants!:)
