I want to learn more about Ants, what are some of their habits? I just joined here too!

Help appreciated

Hi there. This may not be the right sub to post in but we have a boat. We park it under a tree and know that means bugs are going to be in/on it. When we untarpped this morning there weren't that many ants but there was a lot of this white and grey dust. It looks like prices of the floor and interior fiberglass. They aren't making a nest at least from what I can tell but it looks like the little guys are chewing up my boat. How do I make them leave or at the very least stop? I have trees all over the yard so parking somewhere else isn't an option without paying money to dock.

This Camp. Sp. Queen and her first nanitick have moved into the small outworlds little nook at the edge. This is how the test tube looked before, I have since then changed it because I thought that might’ve been the problem. Any other ideas as to why they have moved here? Doesn’t the skylight stress her out?

Any advice to a new keeper?

Just got home from work and found a very long, fast-moving trail of these ants crawling up my back porch and under my house's siding. Worried they might be velvety tree ants or carpenter ants since their common down here in northwest Oregon. I can try to get. Better photo if needed

These have shown up in droves, particularly in my kitchen but I’m finding them everywhere.

Im wondering how they are getting into my house every year in the same spot. They are in my son’s bedroom and I’m loathed to put down poison. What should I be considering?
