Here are Guidelines to Select Ant Colonies

• As an alternate to an ant colony, you can receive an ant colony voucher for a colony of ants (larger than those listed in this kit). We highly suggest this option!
• Colonies with workers will be more active and easier to care for
• Pavement Ants are hardy, but are small and can eat seeds
• Black Garden Ants are hardy and aggressive, but do better with a dormant period
• Hercules Carpenter Ants are large and creates soldiers but need a dormant period of 3-4 months
