Do ants build nests under rubber granulate tiles?
Ants do not build nests under rubber granulate tiles. In nature, ants prefer warm, moisture-protected locations for nest building – for example, under stone tiles, washed concrete tiles, or concrete tiles. Because rainwater flows unimpeded through the permeable rubber granulate tiles, an ant nest is flooded with every rain. Consequently, surfaces with rubber granulate tiles are unattractive to ants.
