It’s a baby black snake. But it’s still a snake.
Wow, that's a new one. I would run a gallon of vinegar through and see if that helps. Let me Google. Apparently a common problem. See if these help!

Good luck!
Hmm, there’s something going on here. They must be going from the garbage disposal drain backwards into the dishwasher drain.
So you have ants elsewhere for them to be able to get into a closed system.
See if you can find where they’re getting into the kitchen itself. Better yet, where are they nesting?
I would treat their path to their nest with Powdered Boric acid (Roach proof) or food grade Diatomaceous Earth.
Pour vinegar down the drain ants don't like vinegar. they keep coming back to your dishwasher because they smell the food that was previously there washed off the dishes. Run your dishwasher cycle on empty then use vinegar.
