amrik singh: A most useful item: The mouth aspirator. (8. Aug 2011 19:17)

When like me you keep a medium or big size colony of small ants who are outbreaks artists ,I am thinking about Tetramorium or Pheidole, you need a way to capture the ants that explore or forage out of their enclose area after fixing the problem . One or two ants is not a problem but if like me you have to capture alive hundreds of ants the only way is a mouth aspirator . It is entomologist instrument to capture insects alive that is composed of two rubber hoses connected to a small transparent container. You can find it in Ant Store in misc.accessory section .
