Do ants like/dislike them? I'm looking for a solution to humidify one of my setups, and it looks like a nice options, but as it uses ultrasound i'm not sure wether it will upset the ants or not?
anyone have any epxerience with them?
I do not have experience with them miszt.
I now ants don't like to much sounds.
yeah thats what i thought, and there is sum research suggesting that sum ants may use very hi freqz to communicate at short range, so it may interfer....will leave it out i think, shame, it looks very kool lol
I would recon you could compare it to living next to a subway station with constant traffic ;)
For most technical questions, i prefer to find cheaper solutions then electrical machienes. If you find your humidity isnt high enough, try covering up the tank a bit (If already using a cover with gaze or the like, cover up the gaze), add moistkeeping materials to the substrate, or take care of a higher evaporation by heating wettend areas of the tank.
What species are we talking about here?

Camponotus herculeanus, I wasnt planning on running it all the time, just in the morning so they have 'morning dew', would only have run it for about 10-15 minutes a day, but I'll just stick to using a spray
yeah, but it doesnt look as nice lol nvm, i'm gona try and find out a bit more info on the mister freqz and ant responses, although tbh i doubt anyones ever given an Ant a proper hearing test lol
I do, given my ant farm is next to my speakers they get a hearing test every day at 6 when i get back from work
I did too. :D All my colonies are in my room where I also keep rather loud surround sistem. They don't seem to mind it. More than music they are anoyed by vibrations when I move around the colonies. :wink:
yeah, but those freqz will be ones that ants hear all the time anyway, the thing i'm worried about is the Ultrasonic freqz interfering with them
Maybe you need to try it out miszt, this way we all know if it bothers them ore not. ;)
