I've done that in the house before, head them off to see where in heck they were coming or going from. Every year, February or March, they would show up, get on the kitchen counter or something, small pie tin appropriately placed with something in it, thats where they head to. Every so often if you looked closely at the line of them, there is like a supervisor or something, a stationary ant checking everything as it goes by! LOL !
Before you would know it, they would be gone. I finally noticed in the basement, there was a line of em on foundation wall, but could never connect the path to upstairs. I had some all black carpenter ants somewhere in here too, no wet wood or likely places, set some bait and it took a while to work, but have seen neither since. Never found where they nested, all dry, they need moist wood. The ones in the lines were small brown ants, like you find small holes with tiny grains of sand around the yard, they close em up before rain. You'll find lots of tiny mounds of these, but no giant mounds or heavy populations in any single mound. The only mound type ants here are the next size down from black carpenter ants, they are all black too, hit that with a mower it may stop a lawn tractor, but its funny because there are never any rocks in the mound, all clean fines, so it never tears anything up, just a big thud, dust plume and lots of ants coming out ! Whats even stranger, no woodpeckers or other predators disturb these mounds, they take years to grow too eventually becoming raised and thick with grass. I've never seen ants take to seed in a field before, thats a new one LOL !
