Fluon did not work...
So recently I received some fluon and tested it out on some wild lasius niger worker ants in the container I planned on using for the outworld. Problem is I checked on it this morning and they walked right over it and could even squeeze through the lid I had over it. I also found a pale spider had squeezed through the lid and was feeding off ants. Am I missing something? I read you should mix the fluon with water but I dont know how much so I just applied straight fluon.

You need to mix it with water. It thins it out and leaves less to grip on to.carsonman99 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 1:01 pmSo recently I received some fluon and tested it out on some wild lasius niger worker ants in the container I planned on using for the outworld.

Proverbs 6:6-8
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.

Re: Fluon did not work...
Is there a specific amount I should use like a 1:1 ration of fluon to water?
