ANTSTORE World of Ants

Hey guys,

Ok so i have a problem, i have 2 lots of ants in the same tank. Camponotus substitutus and a Creamtogaster spec. Now the crems are seriously taking over now i mean there is thousands off them.. and i would dearly love to get the Camp. subs. out... The only problem here being they have made a nest underground somewhere.. So my question is... How on earth can i get them out to rehome them without disturbing them or the other colony?? I have no ideas myself so please.. no matter how daft your idea might sound please share it with me... Thanks in advance.. and i hope everyones ants are doing great

I think there is only the way to offer them a new home and make them their old nest unconfortable.
If you dig them out they might die....

i dont have any other ideas ... sorry

Maybe you can give them a new nest, but make the conection so small that only your crematogasters can go thourgh it so you substitutus need to stay behind. If you know what i mean .

i think they are screwed to be honest and u will either have to just dig em out or leave them there

Jezus, why in the world would you put Crematogaster spp. together with any other specie at all?

I didnt lol... they decided to break out of there ytong in the night and move into the tank.. that was ages ago.. there was only maybe 60 of them then.. and there was no way i could get them out.. as they had nested deep.. and TBH.. i had no idea they would grow so big soo fast..
