Found some “ant buffet” in the shop a few months ago and thought “Oh wow, did people learn that those are dying as well and you can buy something like bee hotels for them now?”.
As far as I know all ant species are social, and they have no problem digging out huge nests just about anywhere. Not sure what kind of dedicated facility you could make that would make it easier for them, or if it would be useful.

Yeah, it was poison.
Cockroach traps are call “cockroach houses” in Mandarin.
“Roach motels” here
Bee hotels are for solitary bees/wasps/… though.

Well, I just meant it was like bee hotels in that it’s a product you can buy to help out critters. I did think it was food, as “buffet” suggests.
Whether food is meaningfully helpful for ants, no idea. Did not overthink it too much in the few seconds until I realized it was poison. 🫠
