PTFE is teflon in a liquid form. You paint it on and it dries. It works best on a vertical surface. Ideally it would be horizontal so that the ants would have to walk upside down to get out.
P heidole pallidula are easy to keep, partly because they will eat almost anything. They are extremely good at escaping and could move into your house in a matter of hours if you give them the chance. They are also tiny. Be aware of this. The soldiers are very distinctive but still smaller than a normal Lasius niger worker.
With these ants preparation is very important.
if i was you i would get a Lasius niger and make that collony a success before you start with South european ants
I wouldn't say they are Easy to keep, they are not hard to keep but don't underestimate them. :)
