Re: Aspirator power

I could make sooooo many jokes right now but I won't. Depending on the power source (batteries I figure) you could up the voltage a little causing the suction pump to work faster thus increasing the suction. Be warned though too mush and you could burn it out. What's its power source?

Queen Cam

OK being the Techie that I am and having installed many a cam I thought why not do one for my Solenopsis Queens? And this is the end result. Think I posted it else where in the forums, I'll have to delete the other one. :) My bust!

Re: Forum Rules

Musuems, college's, and other schools of learning can get special permits allowing the import of foreign plants, animals, insects and such. Its all strictly controlled and some of the aggrements also entail returning them to their original locations once the study is done.

Re: S!O!S! can i substitute drywall for plaster of paris

Really not sure. I know some drywall mud has additives in it and might cause issues with the ants living in it. Check the label and check the contents. Also once its dried if it gets wet again it tends to crumble.

Re: A New Type of Colony

I doubt they were inter connected. Just a few inches of clay can separate the two. Ants usually love to eat termites and usually aren't that close to one another BUT working construction I have opened up a wall in a house and found ants living only one stud space apart form termites.
