As long as the adhesive plaster doesn't have any harmful chemicals that could kill the ants, I suppose it's fine.

i was thinking there must be a way to have the structure like tarheel and i got the idea maybe adhesive plaster works.don't know if it is toxic or not.is there any other way maybe?

Look up Milliput epoxy putty. Keepers on here have used it safely with ants. Most of these things are fine as long as they are fully cured and chemically inert.

Google Milliput. You can read how Boog has used the putty with great artistry here:
