I’ve only ever had like a single ant that came in when i opened the door. I would then pick it up and set it outside or sometimes kill it. I never had a whole line of ants enter my house and I’m certain they can’t.
lol do you not have any other bugs in your house? houses aren’t built to be airtight because you’d literally have trouble opening and closing doors due to suction or pressurization. if they’re not airtight then bugs can get in
Honestly, no. I only ever have singular moths or ladybirds or stinkbugs that fly in when I open the window. They’re easy to catch and set outside. Some spiders here and there. Maybe house flies in the summer, but not too many.
I’ve read about protecting your sugar from ants on the internet, but have never heard about that from people irl and never seen the need for it.
I live in a brick house, not a wood frame house, which might be the explanation.
Yeah I think you’re just lucky. I also live in a masonry house and would describe the bugs I get inside as much less than your description. For the most part, sweets and stuff are in sealed containers.
But my weak point is dog food. Not the container, the bowl. If the dog scatters crumbs and we don’t notice or don’t clean it same day, we’ll get that line of ants cleaning it for us.
They’re always there, ready and waiting until you need their help cleaning something
At my house we don’t keep food sitting out so there is not a reason for ants to explore in too much, but in the spring especially they explore in the foyer.
Are you an alien from another planet?

You’re not going to see that until one of the scouts discovers the open honey jar and reports back
How are you that certain? Do you live in a hermetically sealed clean room?
