Ants are attracted to sugar and do not die from eating sugar or sweet things. Most people think sugar kills ant because they try to exterminate the ants with sugar water. The water is what kills the ants. For example, if a bowl of sugar water is left out to kill ants, the sugar attracts the ants but the water drowns the ants.

How does cinnamon get rid of red ants?
Hi, Cinnamon does not actually get rid of red ants or any ants but the ants will stay away from it because they dont like it. People say cinnamon gets rid of them but what actually happens is that they take the cinnamon back to their queen but ants cant digest the cinnamon and the queen will die and soon enough their colony will die. If you want to kill them then try using sugar and borax, borax is basically soap. They can resist eating the sugar but will die from eating the soap..the only problem is that the sugar will probably attract more ants but you can try it if you want.
