Sugar Scrub Attracted Ants?

Anastasia
I moved from Maine (where it's too cold to have big problems really) to Florida and haven't been dealing well with the mosquitos, cockroaches, and assorted other bugs. But in the shower today I found ants all over my tube of sugar scrub! I washed them all down the drain and am going to scrub the whole shower later, but why is this happening now? I've been using sugar scrubs the whole time I've been down here (since August) and this has never happened before.
