Escape proofing a mini hearth

Hi!
I have a test tube with a tapinoma queen and 10 workers. I was thinking of moving them into a mini-hearth, but I was wondering what would be the best way to escape proof it? I have fluon, so I planned to just put that around the top of the outworld section.
Also, how often should I refill the water tower for tapinoma sessile??

Maybe put a water barrier around the exhibit if you are concerned. As for the watering, every colony has it favorite humidity, usually differing by spieces. I would try to make half the nest moist, and the other half dry so they can pick and choose.
