False honey pot ants

Re: False honey pot ants
I odnt use rubbing alcohol, as I was having the same trouble with my tetramorium colony. I just sprinkle some dry baby powder onto a plate, and the dip a cotton ball in it and dab it all over the walls of the outworld. this creates a very thin very difficult to climb barrier.Winteranter21 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2017 10:39 amIf you ever raised a colony of these how do you stop them from climbing out of the outworld they seem to just run through baby powder and rubbing alchol any suggestions?
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
