So I can home and was going to feed my little ant family a cricket............ Only to find the entire nest over run with the common black ant (Sugar ants, piss ants, Pharaoh, Pavement, what ever you want to call them). And thru out the nest was parts of my Solenopsis ants spread all over..... including the queen and the little ants were carrying off the brood and going after the food in the out world. I had the air vents covered with very fine mesh (far too small for my ants to get out but not too small for the black ants to get thru), I even have the vents surrounded with Vaseline as a back up.
So my growing Solenopsis colony has been wiped out. I'm so mad right now.
All caught queens dead, colony wiped out........... not been a very good time.
