TWJian Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 I want to do a school project about ants.I wish to develop a chemical that could either mimic or change the chemical structure of the pheromones secreted by the queen ant,therefore allowing me to control the colony.Recently,i have analysed a local ant warder/killer and found out that it contains sulphides and sulfur.I have try mixing sucrose with the above chamicals to test the ants' reaction.However,i hit upon a paradox.the ants seems to be both attracted and warded by the mixture.I used a mxiture containing 4 parts sugar and 1 part sulfur.can any1 plz explain why?Btw,does anybody got any ideas to control the ants via chemicals?
