If you want to stop ants from coming in to your house

To stop ants coming in to your house leave a saucer of milk outside. The adult ants drink it & it has an effect on ant reproduction. The young are born without toes so they can't climb in to your
cavity walls.
This effect is called lack toes in toddler ants.

My real-time reaction as an amateur entomologist:
"This doesn't make any sense! Breeders aren't going to be outside the nest eating or drinking-" Gets to the pun "God dammit."
This one is a stretch, which somehow makes it work better by making it much worse.

If you spray & kill them, you have ante bodies.

Why does WD-40 work so well for mice ? It's stops the squeaking!

There was a house that was abandoned.. the home owner came around wondering why the people who rented it suddenly left.
He looked around and saw there were ants.. but not many, just five..
He thought to himself that it should be easy to fix the situation so he went back to his car, came back and placed food on the ground..
Eventually he had ten ants.

I was trying to come up with a similar joke but with “lack toes in taller ants” but couldn’t make it work, the groan factor was too high. I like your version better!

Omg, I thought this was a real tip and all I could think was how terrible that would be for the baby ants! And I don’t even like ants!
