Teflon aka PTFE aka Fluon is probably the best ant barrier except for very small species (and some exceptional climbing artists like Carebara minors which also happen to be very small ants though).
We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

For tiny species, fluon is still the best barrier out there, you just have to apply ot upside down for those species.Teflon aka PTFE aka Fluon is probably the best ant barrier except for very small species (and some exceptional climbing artists like Carebara minors which also happen to be very small ants though).
it's a good barrier although it's a bit pricey; i'd suggest just using rubbing alcohol and baby powder next time unless you're keeping an escape artist species.
My Strobe ants can walk through Fluon like it's not even there... so for some ants, it's a waste of time
Current ant colonies -
1) Opisthopsis Rufithorax (strobe ant), Melophorus sp2. black and orange, Pheidole species, Pheidole antipodum
