its acidic, well most of them are. And they use FORMIC ACID
Yes it is because it is not alkali or neutral it has th pH of 2.
This is kinda what you're hoping for I hope. Acid + alkali (tablet) = salt + water (neutral).
Ants release a solution containing formic acid. The pH is of course under 7.
Some (but not all) species of ant squirt formic acid to defend against attack.

An acid, being mainly formic acid (= methanoic acid , H-C(=O)(-OH), the simplest organic acid).By the way, the name 'formic' comes from the Latin name for 'ants' which begins with: FormicidaeExamples:black ant: Formica nigrared ant : F. rufa
