Re: Camponotus penny baby powder
Have you used baby powder or talcum powder? Some baby powders have corn starch in them as a filler. When that dries up it actually becomes a surface they can easily traverse. You might want to try olive oil instead?Darkhero0987 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 9:16 amSo I don't know why but I am having trouble it seems my camponotus pennsylvanicus are walking over my baby powder barrier need some help understanding why

Re: Camponotus penny baby powder
I've recently seen that camponotus can climb over olive oil, and i know that they can climb vasiline from personal experiance. Also if you place the baby/talcum powder dry on the walls without alchohol the powder will work better than with alcohol.
