I think the white paint is sticky, but maybe it's also chalk-based. The websites I looked at suggested that ants don't like the feel of chalk on their feet. I wonder how they interviewed the ants to find that out? Do you suppose they drew a statistically significant sample, or went with in-depth qualitative ethnographies?
