What to do with ant’s trash?

[Danw190]

i have colobopsis impressa that are living in a small log or branch. They have started putting their trash(left overs from other bugs) beside the entrance to their log I think to hide it. What should I do?

Have you got springtails?

[Danw190]

I dont

[Hawkeye]

Well you might want to get some. They will eat the trash of your ants and dissolve it into soil nutrients for you.

[Danw190]

Where do I get them?

If I can’t get spring tails will rolypolys work

Yes they should, but they will likely feed on the wood too. Small isopods are your best bet.
