I have quite an ant population in my house lately. It's prompted me to keep the kitchen counters clean and free of dirty dishes.. but the ants still make a constant assault on my espresso maker. They go into the drip tray, where all the old drips and runoff from the pump clearing itself collect. Basically it's slightly watery espresso in there. Now I know it can't have much nutritional value, and I don't see how they could carry liquid back to the nest.. so I figure the ants are addicted to the stuff and keep running in there day in and day out to get their hits. It kind of goes with the workaholic ant personality don't you think?
