My Tetramorium caespitum are making a huge trash pile. They have around 2000 workers and eat a lot. What should I do. I am also keeping some other species they give me no trouble with trash.

Its normal and natural that they leave trash, also keep in mind they leave less trash than lets say dogs :)

It's a good idea to add some spring tails.

If the trash pile is in the outworld, it makes it easier to just put some right on the pile.

Springtails will prevent the pile from molding if it's not exactly cleanable but it's always best to try and remove any trash pile beforehand.
