Baby powder and rubbig alcohol
Both can be bought in pharmacy for example
Try using non-parfume baby powder and make a mix of the two and apply it with some cotton

I personally really like vaseline. But opinions on the effectiveness of it varies.
- Rhytidoponera metallica
- Camponotus consobrinus x2
- Anonychomryma sp.
- Nylanderia sp.
- Melaphorus sp.
- Camponotus cairns
- Crematogaster sp.
- Colobopsis sp.
- Unidentified sp.
- Myrmecia nigrocinta
- Iridomyrmex purpureus
- Camponotus eastwoodi
