Ok i think this is a little weird...I caught most of my queens from 4 different sunoco gas stations...only SUNOCO No lukoil, citgo, shell, local gas
station....what is going on? is Sunoco producing ant attracting gasoline? Does anybody else have the same experience at gas stations?

It might be the kind of night-lighting their using.
Well-lighted paved areas in general can be good for finding those ant species that can be lured to lights. |

I think the ants just know a good deal on gas when they see one. How do the prices compare?

Was it at Zanti Agent's former workplace? See http://antfarm.yuku.com/reply/44059 ...

I wonder if it is the red, yellow, and blue colors as shown in http://www.prosign.net/images/illuminated_sunoco.jpg ? What do other gas stations' lights have?
