Plaster of Paris is used for many aplications however it is also used to make ant formicariums. I have descovered the best combination to mix with this Plaster of Paris and the ants love it. I have had several old formicariums made from sand that my colonies have been well established in and when I attached a tube to a new formicarium made of this combination mixture, they move in right away. It is easy to keep moise and holds in moisture longer.
