I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unfortunately sent stan home' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'sent stan home' is the wordplay.
'sent' is an anagram indicator (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'home' becomes 'nest' (a bird's home).
'stan' anagrammed gives 'ants'.
'ants'+'nest'='ANTS NEST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ants nest that I've seen is " centre for workers".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
