They are obviously trying to kill your ants. Try killing them all if you can and make sure they can't get inside the test tube at all. Do you have pictures of the set up?

Put a slightly larger tray underneath the out world and fill it with water as a moat. If you can, order some fluon and apply it to the outside of your container as well.

Yes, moat our setup. Considering your location, wild ants attacking your captives colonies will continue to be a problem unless you use a moat.

Also, put soap in the moat because small ants like L. humile have a tendency to walk on water. The soap does something along the lines of surface tension and other science stuff.

Soap strips the water of its surface tension.Also, put soap in the moat because small ants like L. humile have a tendency to walk on water. The soap does something along the lines of surface tension and other science stuff.
