Ants really follows special biological rules. Once I put an ant bait outside and did not expect much since it usually did not work. But at one time, this really work and I got scared. There are thousands if not tens of thousands of ants coming out of their place and stayed together. I did notice there is one much bigger white ant, presumably the queen. Later, I found nearly all of the ants died. Until now, I still do not understand why.
