If you have some sweet and pretty things like these babies, and they aren't ready for fridge/storage boxes yet...and in summer, with threats from little ants sometimes crawl around sweet things in my kitchen...(I almost mistook them for poppy seeds on my cake, until I realised that I've never baked anything with poppy seeds)....
I use this simple trick I grew up with...learnt it from my grandma back home.
Place the lil' sweet things on cake stand/plate/bowl, put it on a bigger plate, pour water into the bigger plate.
It may look stupid, but it works ^_^
Too bad, little ants...now you gotta learn how to swim to get to my sweets :p

hahaha. Oh yeah- this is the most efficient and low cost way to get rid of the ants!
Hahaha...what a great idea!
This is genius!
I agree this is a great idea that actually works! Ants love to crawl into my house and it gets so annoying with them crawling on the ground, cabinets, countertop, dishes....yuck.
owh yes.. I do this too.. especially when I want to place some snacks in my room!
I think I got a better solution.... just give me all the sweets and cakes ;)
Neat trick!
Hi, new reader here! I do the same and suppose most people in South East Asia as well. Used to live in Thailand - does that. Now that I am living in Indonesia - doing it still :)
Hi there! I have been using this method to ward off ants in my food but I just found out recently, ants DO swim!
Whats back-up plan? :x
starningblue, noooo...really? i guess i'll have to pop the sweets into the fridge then...
What a great trick, I will have to use this cuz they attack everything I leave on the counter, from sweet to savoury!! Thanks for this brilliant idea!
