Homemade Portal
Would it be okay to connect my colony of five workers and queen, with a sizable amount of brood...
to connect them to this portal I made so I could feed them easier?

Re: Homemade Portal
And how long should I let the vaseline dry for?

I'm guessing it is used to make a slippery surface so the ants can't climb up.SamuelMamuel wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:46 pmVaseline? Why is that there and where did you put it? (I'm a complete beginner)

Re: Homemade Portal
Vaseline, Fluon, and baby powder and rubbing alcohol mix are three different barriers. I think there's a chemical in the Vaseline that deters ants away, and the ants don't bother walking through it. It works for most species.SamuelMamuel wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 10:53 pmI thought that was baby powder and alcoholAquaexploder wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:53 pmI'm guessing it is used to make a slippery surface so the ants can't climb up.SamuelMamuel wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:46 pm
