I have set up this very basic ant farm, but I have noticed that the 'breather'(?) holes are allowing ants in and out of the ant farm. Having never set up an ant farm before, I am guessing that this is against the principal of having an ant farm.
Do I have the wrong ants?
Is my ant farm so basic that it does not allow ants to stay in?
If I tape the holes I guess they will die.....what if I tape and then pin pierce the tape....or will they get stuck on sticky tape.

Now you understand why my mood is worried!

many thanks for the opportunity to vent...any help is greatly appreciated.:confused:

Put the farm in a moat of water? Never had that problem before.

P.S. Try the "Insect and other invertebrates" forum next time. ;)
