Are grout nests good or bad for ants?

I think that will depend on the ants you keep and the grout you will use. Here are two videos that might help you with information. I'm no expert but maybe they have some useful information for you.

Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

I have heard invicta can chew ytong, so I bet they could escape grout.

I have low interest at fire ants. Maybe carpenter ants cannot escape grout right?
