Anti-Escape

Application

Anti-escape oil can be applied to the top edges of an ant farm to prevent the ants from escaping. It can be applied using a cotton swab.

Function

The ants cannot get a grip on the (well) applied mixture; they slip and therefore stay where you want to keep them. Only for use on smooth surfaces (plastic/glass) without corners. In a corner, ants can always (partially) gain a grip.

Composition

It is a mixture based on talcum powder, so it is not 'real' oil. The composition ensures that it can be used for a longer period (up to a year) without needing to be replaced. For a large colony or high humidity, it may be necessary to clean and reapply more often.
