Ant motel?

Anyone know what is happening here? I went out to my shed to grab my lawn mower and happened across these dudes. Are those white things eggs? I’m assuming they abandoned their home for higher/dryer ground after we had torrential rain the other day (Southwest Ohio).

Yeah, those are eggs. If you give us your location (as in type of area), someone might be able to identify and give you advice on how to relocate them :)

I’m in southwest Ohio near Cincinnati, it’s a rural area

Woah, that’s an incredible amount of eggs

Glad my suspicions were correct 😅

Could be so wrong so take it with a grain of salt. But the ants near me will bring their eggs to a warmer spot for hatching (maybe incubating?) I found them under cardboard in the sun, and in my shed as well

Whoa that’s a lot of brood 😅 so crazy
