We recommend using the Nextswarm Cricket Mash Ant Food for a healthy colony along with our Best Ants Protein Jelly twice a week. Pour a small amount (depending on colony size, so start with smaller and increase if necessary) over a tiny cotton ball, tinfoil bit or feeding dish and place it into the ant's outworld. 

Remove any leftovers after 2 days as Cricket Mash keeps its properties for up to 2 days.

We tested with Lasius, Myrmica, Messor (Harvester ants), Pheidole, Camponotus (Carpenter ants), Aphaenogaster, Crematogaster species, Weever Ants and many more. Ants love it!
