Can you reuse the container after the ants die? Like can you get new jell and ants?

I have never used this particular container, but you can purchase more gel and live ants at antsalive.com.

After about a month of use it fills with mold. It is cleanable when all the ants die but I could never get all the mold out.

I'm no expert on ants by no means but I would imagine if your ant are just garden variety ants, you could try. I don't see how it could harm

The ants themselves will typically carry any dead out of the tunnels and to the surface, where you can remove them with a cotton swab or a toothpick/skewer. If your colony completely dies out, you can actually use the same gel that's in there. You just have to rinse it out with clean water to remove any dead ants or debris, then just drain the excess water and add new ants. The new ants will use the same tunnels, and dig new ones.

No, they cannot really be reused. You could try spraying them with water I guess to experiment but they are not made to be reused. I really think they were worth getting and did last a few months in the original jar of material I had them in, but they eventually dried out and became hard. I do live in a really dry climate thought, so take that into consideration as well.

Yes, you can reuse it for fermenting. Just wash it well, and you are ready to go.

The gel will. The jar contains dry granules. I guess you could try pressing the granules into the gel, but not sure that would be a good idea. One seemed to work best on some ants and the other worked best on others. No type of ant seemed to like both.

I just ckd my bread box & it seals up pretty tight.. .ants would have a heck of a time trying to get in..

I'm guessing that you can. If I didn't have a dog, or, a rice container, I would still purchase it to store my 50 lbs rice, instead of leaving in the bag. The seal helps keep ants out. However, for any foodstuff, you may want to check the expiration date, and if you store it, it doesn't get "stale". For me, rice would be good, since it is our staple for daily consumption, so never will get "bad".

I don't see why not. I put it around my wooded retaining wall and within a few days there were piles of dead ants all over the place. I haven't seen any more since. And that has been about a year ago.

No, you don't have to buy another container. You only need to spritz a little bit of water, not too much. Then you just throw the whole thing away when it's done. I've had mine for 3 weeks and it's still good.

They are not designed to be reused. They are meant to be one-time-use and disposed of. You can clean them out if you want... But I would not. There is no real way to effectively dry them out due to the small opening. When we used them we just threw them away and it was still cheeper than the store bought ones. I hope that this helps.

These are empty containers to begin with. So long as you clean out what you put in, you should be able to reuse them. I haven't had any degradation from any of my materials put in (eo, coconut oil, beeswax and almond oil).

Yes, they will carry poison back to nest and the poison will draw out more.Also ants usually show up around water sources, that is really what they are after. I have had great luck wiping out the ants w/ this product.

Thank you for the question. I am sorry wee do not sell something similar for large ants.

If you're talking about catching one after another, but leaving them in the container, yes. You can suck up one bug, re-compress the chamber, and then suck up more bugs. The first one will not be able to get out. I have done this twice. Then you can empty them all at once.

I have a box of regular sure jell dated sept. 2012. Can it be used today (6/26/15)

We got this for our son for Christmas and there are still a few ants that are alive. Supposedly the ants will bring the dead ones to the top so that you can remove them with the tweezer they provide but the dead ants are mostly at the bottom so we can't get at them. The ants seemed to congregate at the top so we don't open it up. My son enjoyed this gift. You have to order a refill.
