So my Tetramorium Immigrans colony is getting pretty big and so they have started to build up trash, I haven't had to deal with this problem before so I was kind of clueless as to how to deal with it.

But as I was feeding my colony some Sunburst on a piece of paper plate I discovered something, after they had finished drinking it they would start to pile all of there trash on top of it, and then it's as easy as removing it along with all of the trash!

I thought this little tip might be helpful, so if you try it out please let me know if it works for you.

I’m not sure if this helps or not, but for my Messor colony, I placed a piece of cotton where they gather their trash, and then I replace the cotton afterward. This behavior is normal.
