Default Just how strong are common house ants?

Something other than ants moved it. I'd suggest putting down another

moved.


With flour they might "cake" up stuff! Use grits or corn meal; not
nearly as heavy as a trap, and you watch them carry if off.


That, or put lipstick on it. (Oh, never mind, that's for figuring out
about cats' butts on kitchen counters...)


And your experience is? Lipstick on a pig can be more attractive
than a pig without lipstick.
