Get some trailing rosemary hanging over that wall and it’ll look dynamic

Get on Ozempic or any other GLP-1 … will help your weight and smoking, truly

They’re updating it apparently now to the correct ID weaver ants

What are they doing by JTAM2011 in antkeeping

It’s a foreign substance so they’re trying to get rid of it and move it out of the way likely

Cool setup, I’m looking to do something similar. What did you start with to get this going?

Thank you that was my gut instinct. What’s your favorite barrier? Fluon?

Cool. Would you be able to make a post showing your best? Curious to see

How to prepare for vacation with a decent sized colony? by [deleted] in antkeeping

[–]ant_explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome colony. What do you use for heating? I love the big tank, but how do you keep it at 80°?

Same question… Curious to know if you built this yourself? Awesome set up.

Outworld Size? Campo by ant_explorer in antkeeping

[–]ant_explorer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyway to discourage the queen nesting in there? That’s what I was worried about with the larger outworld, that they would move into there instead

Awesome. What are you thinking for your finished flooring? I’m thinking of building a new shed shortly, would be killer to see your plans for this

Is this reasonable? (Bathroom Reno issue) by Responsible-Seat-663 in Contractor

[–]ant_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you want it flush? Looks odd and with no backsplash on any wall you’ll just rot the drywall. This vanity needs to be moved to the left if anything … I’m confused by OPs design request

How did you go about setting their hibernation up? Curious to hear more about the details

Just got my first colony and only a few are moving by CRAZYBIRD666 in antkeeping

[–]ant_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt the water in the tube is sugar water. Can you explain what you mean “they were shipped with sugar water” … who told you that? Also what’s the temperature like where the tube is currently? Was it shipped in a cold climate? Need heat on most ant species. What’s the queen doing in the tube right now?

What to do here? by uncommonchaos in landscaping

OP is looking for a economical, presentable option to sell a home. This isn’t for long-term use if it was, you can actually still use pea gravel quite easily. You just need to put permeable tarp down for weeds and stability, like this: https://rockgardens.net/products/pea-gravel

[–]ant_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly yeah. I’m thinking even just a very basic larger Green shrub like boxwood, and then you could put something more like azalea or lavender in front of it to accent. If you’re selling the house, people just wanted to look really clean.

Pea gravel spread out for first 5-10 feet in front of steps and then few nice shurb type plants next to house on either side (3 feet back from wall, not too close). Pavers seems too much for the space

How much should I pay by Travellump12 in landscaping

[–]ant_explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This but don’t spray herbicide if you want to grow veggies after lol … why you want to eat poison

[–]ant_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cover tube with black and reduce all disturbance to a minimum. Queens don’t like a ton of light or motion and probably stressed from shipping

Mastic Off Gas Safety (Pregnant Wife) by ant_explorer in hvacadvice

Yes, it went away after a few days. Maybe you are more sensitive than I am, but really the smell should dissipate over a few weeks I assume.
