This is by far the first time I see this. I recently started seeing a few ants around. Naturally, I purchased a few traps. What I came home to 24 hours after setting the traps blew my mind...every traps was surrounded by piles of sawdust, hair and other dirt.
I cleaned it all up and they did it again! This is a pretty new condo so I assume the sawdust is the leftovers from construction.
It really looks like the ants are trying to warn others not to eat this stuff! I have little black ants (not sure on the exact breed) and have seen 3-4 carpenter ants over the past few weeks.

So any reccomendations as to what I should be doing? Searched google and found nothing!
