CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Black ant breeding technology,

1. Black ant breeding technology,

Ants should be raised in large quantities for production purposes, and nests should be built underground. However, if a small number of ants are raised for viewing purposes, it is still appropriate to use rectangular boxes made of glass or plastic.

The ant breeding box should be deep enough to be padded with thick soil and have room for nesting. The size is 60cm*35cm*55cm.

Ants are relatively active and fast-moving insects, so it is better to have a spacious breeding box. The number of ants that can be raised can be between 30 and 50.

It is best to use a layer of thin wooden boards at the bottom of the box, and surround the four sides of the box with thin wooden boards about 30 cm wide to prevent the low temperature outside from affecting the box. Then place about 14 to 20 wooden strips and foam plastic strips at the bottom of the box, and finally cover it with a layer of soil more than 10 cm thick.

The soil should be slightly acidic and slightly moist. You can also put some leaves in it. No water should accumulate. The humidity should be kept at 10% to 15%. Stones can be placed on the soil layer and piled up for ants to move around. The top of the breeding box should be covered with a lid made of plastic yarn or iron yarn to facilitate ventilation, prevent ants from crawling out, and prevent other animals from attacking the ants.

2. How to deal with large black ants at home?

(1) Before home decoration, the home decoration materials should be processed or cleaned to avoid bringing ants into the house.

(2) Food should be promptly collected and properly stored. Food in the kitchen and storage room, especially sugar and honey, should be covered and kept clean.

1. What should I do if there are ants at home?

Answer: 1. Just add a few broken leeks into the sugar bowl to prevent ants.

2. Fill an unwanted perfume bottle with water and place it on the floor next to the water dispenser, and ants will not appear around the dispenser.

3. Roast the eggshells until the surface is slightly charred (not all of it needs to be charred), crush the eggshells, put them in a plastic cover, and then place the plastic cover under the table legs.

4. Sprinkle talcum powder (powder for prickly heat) on the places where ants pass, and you will not see the ants after a few days.

3. How to keep pet ants

First, prepare a test tube and scald it with boiling water to achieve the purpose of disinfection and avoid mold in the future.

Add pure water to one-third of the test tube, and stuff a piece of cotton into it. The size of the cotton ball should be the same as that of a medical cotton ball. Pinch it tightly and stuff it in. Stop when it reaches the water level line, because the purpose of stuffing the cotton is to provide the humidity and water needed for ants' lives.

We are raising harvester ants, so we add some grass seeds. If we don’t have grass seeds, millet can be used as a complete substitute.

Put the queen ant in a darker place with less vibration and disturbance, and she will lay eggs and feed herself. During this period, the queen ant's energy comes entirely from the muscles of her four broken wings and the decomposition and metabolism in her body. Her weight is getting lighter day by day. She is at the crossroads of starvation and rebirth, waiting for the first batch of adult worker ants to grow up, so that the queen ant can have a new source of food. This period of time is the most likely to die. If the queen ant consumes too much energy before raising the larvae, she may starve to death before the larvae break out of the cocoon.

A month later, the first batch of worker ants broke out of their cocoons. Although they were generally small due to malnutrition, it could be said that the ant colony had been established and was starting to get on the right track. From now on, they can enjoy the pleasure of having a large number of soldiers.

Use a flower pot: put leftover bones or fish bones in it, fill it with soil, and place it where there are ants. When the ants find it, they will build a nest in it.

If you want to watch ants fighting, you can lure black ants and yellow ants to fight for food. The fight between ants is very interesting and spectacular. If you observe carefully, you will find that ants have division of labor, such as scouts, transporters, etc., each with its own responsibilities, which is very interesting.

4. How to prevent and control black ants

1. First of all, there are black ants in the house because of some food residues, especially sweets, which will attract ants. So first clean the house thoroughly and remove these food residues, and don't let there be any food residues in the house in the future.

2. Use drugs such as Jiebing Sajibi insecticide powder to kill ants. First find the ant trails where ants appear, and then spray the medicine evenly. Be careful not to scatter it in piles. In addition to the ant trails, some hidden corners of the house are also sprinkled with medicine. After the medicine is spread, the ants will climb onto the medicine by themselves, or they will stick to the Jiebing Sajibi medicine when passing by, and they will slowly die. Generally, the ants can be completely eliminated in about ten days.

3. After the ants are eliminated, be sure to keep your house clean and tidy, especially avoid any food residues. If your house is clean, the ants will naturally be eliminated slowly.

Raise some termites, and then place them where there are ants, remember to keep them in equal numbers. Let them discriminate against each other and kill each other. . . . .
