Ants in enclosure, unknown source!

Recently I have built an enclosure for my dragon and everything went well. I had a temporary setup for him until I was able to get various things from outside cleaned thoroughly. I collected a large stick, and various rocks to stack. After a few days of these things being moved in, I noticed an ant running around. I figured an ant may have survived the washing, so I thought nothing of it and killed it. However this continued on for at least a month. I still have yet to find where these ants could be coming from. Today I sealed up any holes in the stick, took apart the stone structures, (the only thing i found in the structures were cowardly crickets from previous feedings, lol) and even checked the digging box. No ants found. I figured they were in the stick and I sealed them in their new grave. Again, I guess I was wrong. I saw ANOTHER ant walking around. I am so confused and I don't know what to do. I've checked everything. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to make sure these ants are eliminated? Any ideas would be appreciated :)

Spray everywhere you see them with a white vinegar and water mix to kill the ants Pheromone trails and then use Diatomaceous Earth spread it around the outside perimeter around your enclosure

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
