Idk if I ruined this or if it can still be saved.
So I made a custom outworld/nesting space with a small plastic box. I drilled two holes in it that can be fitted with testube adapters. One problem: I used superglue to attach one of the testube adapter. I now there's glue smear all over and I think it might be toxic. I don't know what to do with it, will it be toxic for ants?

I don't think so.... I'm not 100% though.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Super glue is fine for ants
