Ant escaping from my aquarium
Hello guys just wondering what should I put on the top of my ants to prevent them
From escaping , I tried face powder or baby powder mix it with alcohol but it doesn’t work very well. Thanks

You could use fluon and I've heard stuff about olive oil but for the best results you should use fluon.

Species? Baby powder alone works for some large species, fluon is best for small and medium species

Geez! It was 20 when I bought it!
Bare talc powder for me works great, but here is cheaper fluon, not sure about shipping

Re: Ant escaping from my aquarium
Is it really the case with every campo? Mine also just are able to walk on it after a week. Do i really need to reapply the barrier each week
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Floun or talc?Talc I have to reapply every week to keep workers off, and fluon just does not work for me.Antloverhuman wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 11:15 amIs it really the case with every campo? Mine also just are able to walk on it after a week. Do i really need to reapply the barrier each week
