They might, but they're deep and dark inside. I keep kiddo's Legos is a see-through Rubbermaid, one of those huge under bed ones. Maybe if you have space under a sofa or table?
Nick has a Lego dresser in his room--a gift from his uncle--but he also has some totes of them in 'his' living room (and they occasionally drift into the downstairs living room--lol). These are definitely nicer looking than what he's using now :). Now I'm wondering about finding some like them, maybe painted white/light inside... hmmm...

Plausible deniability. ;)

Naturally, I was kidding. I needed something to stop certain vegetation from spreading from my back border into the neighborhood, and I needed someplace to store my spare rocks, so I figured hit two birds with one rock...uh...stone. My helper installing the thing to hold the rocks and keep the ground cover at bay suggested we pour cement rather than my timid suggestion of using concrete blocks and I said, "Yeah, let's make it look like we're hiding a dead body!" Of course I am getting pictures of the whole arrangement from the ground up.

To answer the question, what we're doing is going to a parade. Yeah, that's it. A parade.

Terro is good on ants also. The active ingredient is borax. So if you spread borax around it does the same thing.

Diatomaceous earth (used in swimming pool filters), when dry, kills them also. But it would be better to use the garden variety rather than the pool type.
I had a home incursion of a group of the little tiny kitchen ants,and used that terro stuff,the borax..it worked great,they were all gone within a week,and haven't seen hide nor hair of one in years..of course,I don't know how well it works on the big ones..

Just finished watching Nazi Megastructures in NatGeo
I was amazed of Japanese's underground fortress at Okinawa island, it was smart and good tactic and bit effective i see. But still did not provide full protection to the shooters and soldiers, but can provide escape route. That was amazing for me
It's really interesting to see. Very close quarters, though--it would be hell for a person who was claustrophobic. The trench/tunnels were even worse. Okinawa has some fascinating historical monuments.
