"Infinite" range nests and hunting areas are a modular nest and hunting areas system for ants. This means that you can start with a nest and hunting area for your little colony, and add modules as your colony grows.

  • Versatile: The modules can be connected in a variety of ways to create different nest layouts.
  • Escape-proof: The modules are designed to be escape-proof, so you don't have to worry about your ants escaping.
  • Easy to clean: The modules are easy to clean and disinfect.
  • Affordable: The modules are relatively affordable, so you can start with a small system and add to it as you need to.

The Gypsum Moist Nest Area is a modular nest for ant colonies. It is ideal for species that love high moisture in their nest. It is a square module measuring 10cm with four entrances and three specific sections. Two of them have moister place. The sections can be opened or closed with a red tab, which can also be removed or replaced to control the size of the nest.

Gypsum is a natural mineral that is often used in ant keeping because of its strong moisturizing ability. It is a soft and porous material that can easily absorb water, making it ideal for creating a humid environment for ants to live in.
