So the other day I entered the animal room just to see a whole army of ants attacking this one scorpion. It was my Hottentotta hottentotta (Congo Red Alligator Back Scorpion). Yes, I have faced ant problems before, but this one got me curious - All the ants seemed to be targeting this one particular scorpion only. There were four other scorpion enclosures beside it, but they only decided to go for one. Why?

I know it's been a while, but for future reference, I'm pretty sure those are sugar ants. Super tiny, solid black. As for why they were going after that particular scorpion... Did you perhaps handle something sweet before handling the scorpion or the sand prior to this incident? Even just a few grains of sugar is enough to entice 'em to investigate further, hence why they'd be all over the room. Keep all sweet treats well clear of this room, and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after eating. Prevention is the best method by far.
For future reference, mix some borax with sugar water (you can find recipes online) and put it out in a container. It's extremely effective and dirt cheap to make. Takes less than a day in my experience.

Ants will send out scouts to find food. The ants were attracted to the various leftover entrails in the Scorpion's container. I recommend cleaning the container/anything they walked over, as they use a scent trail to lead other ants to the food and will return if they follow the trail again.

Double sided sticky tape works as a prevention too because the ants get stuck and starve.
If you have access to borax, it works extremely well. My family has used it for years-just sprinkle it across their trails and they’ll track it back into the nest, which kills it. My mom has also experimented with a flat dish and small piles of the stuff, leaving it out near nests that have taken up in walls or cracks, and that seems to work as well.

That’s what I saw all over the internet is to mix whatever powder you use to kill them with sugar or something they like.
There's an ant bait that is a gel in a syringe that is boric-acid based which works pretty well. (Under the Combat Max brand here, but might go under some other name elsewhere.) Because its a gel, it can stick on walls or even upside-down areas. Seems to have enough of an attractant that ants aren't picky about it. Might want to see if you can find it, as a little bit does the job and the whole syringe will last a long time.

Even the biggest creature fears the ants.
You can also mix baking powder and powdered sugar. They will take it to their nest and feed it to the larvae, which killes them. It is not an immediate solution but you get rid of them for a long period of time. Hope for the best

"Nothing is true; everything is permitted" - Ants
Ok I know this was 2 months ago. But I do also know that in the great circle of life, ants (among other animals & insects) will attack certain species of things, including roach eggs and such, to control the population of that species. This is Nature's way of balance. If there's too much of something in one area, nature finds a way to control that and maintain balance. Not just with ants, but spiders are also known to populate an area prominently where there's an abundant food source as well. If there's an abundance of something an animal's prefers to diet on in particular, that animal will definitely be seen a lot in that area. Unless, of course, in the case where humans play an unfortunate role in the endangerment or extinction of any particular thing. Nature having nothing to do with that. However, Humanity is no exception to natures course in maintaining balance, either.
You should move all the enclosures and spray warm water mixed with dawn dishoap
Exotic lair: you can’t have to much powder *me having 10 containers of ant powder with 10 of them in each container* Me:totally
might be worth placing stuff around any potential entry points to make a barrier and preventative. or look into some traps you can keep around longer that will help control them. Hope everything continues to be good.
Love how he killed the ant and said bring me to your queen
I realised it looked like he has a whole fish tank of dead tarantulas!!!
you should remove all enclosures out of that room. then clean all surfasses. ants leave a feromone trail for other ants to follow to food, so by cleaning you remove those trails. you should also kill as many as you can while trying to find their nest.
