is tetramorium hard to contain?
Hey so I was just kind of looking at what the forum antfarm yuku had to say about tetramorium, and I saw that they were saying that they were escape artists. Do you think that a layer of baby powder and alcohol will contain them? I'm hoping I don't have to buy fluon. The stuff is crazy expensive! But of course its more important to my family that the ants don't get out. Any tips would be appreciated! (even if it's just about keeping tetramorium ants in general)

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.

fluon is only $6 or so plus shipping, so $9 or so.

but to answer your question, yes. i hear they are escape artists, similar to fire ants. if there is a weakness in your containment, they will exploit it.

naa, its ok. personally, i think ants that are good at escaping, are good to start with in a way. they teach you how to ant proof stuff. its all a learning experience.idahoantgirl wrote:Uh oh. thats not good. do you recomend that I keeep tetramorium then?
