LIVE Harvester Ants -- (Pacific NW Red and Black) for Ant Farms Plus Free Ant Chow

The Pacific Northwest Harvester Ants are known to be more active and live longer than other species sold for ant farms. In your order you will receive (26) ants plus 2 or 3 extra ants and a bonus pack of Ant Chow. If keep under right conditions they can LIVE FOR MONTHS compared to the Utah red ants that seem to live for only two to three weeks in captivity. The harvester ants you order are worker ants, which will spend the majority of their time creating, cleaning and maintaining the tunnels in the farm. When an ant dies, the other ants will carry it to an area of the farm designated for waste. Once a bit of waste is placed in the designated area, all the ants will use that spot like a trash pile. Ants are very efficient at keeping their habitats clean. It is up to you to remove ant carcasses and other waste from your ant farm to avoid mold and bacteria from forming, which could kill all of your ants quickly if left unchecked. Guaranteed LIVE arrival as long as the temperature does not fall below 30 and not above 80 degrees. Please remove your new ants from mailbox immediately upon delivery. Should you have a problem with your ant order please contact us within 8 hours of receipt. Two cautions: Please do not to overfill your ant farm with a ton of ants. If you do they will not live long. Please do not add new ants to existing ants even if they are from the same species. If you do chances are they will fight and that can get very messy. We "Quick Ship" (we ship that day or next day) with USPS Priority Post (2 to 3 day delivery time). Less time in transit means happier ants.
