It is well-known that the main means used by ants to form and maintain the line is a pheromone trail. Ants deposit a certain amount of pheromone while walking, and each ant probabilistically prefers to follow a direction rich in pheromone rather than a poorer one. This elementary behavior of real ants can be used to explain how they can find the shortest path which reconnects a broken line after the sudden appearance of an unexpected obstacle has interrupted the initial path

They are following the pheremones of the other ants.....ever smelled an ant after you squish it? They use the scent to mark trails to let other ants know where to go to get to food. That's why they keep coming back even after you wipe them away...(bleach cleans the pheremones off)

They follow scent trails left by other ants.
