(1), open the cover of the ant house, and poke four 20-25mm deep holes in the gel with the configured stick. So ants can know that this "land" under their feet can also dig holes.

(2) Open the plug on the cover, tear off the seals at both ends of the tube containing the ants, take out the absorbent cotton, aim at the plug hole, gently blow one breath, put the ants into the container of the ant house, and then cover the plug. If individual ants are found dead, they need to be cleaned up.

(3) Don't put ants in direct sunlight. Ants like cool places. Ants like the indoor temperature between15-30 C to avoid overheating. Usually below10 C, the ants stop working. The optimum temperature is 20-25 C. In fact, different ant species have different adaptation ranges to temperature.

(4) You must be patient! Try not to disturb the ants that have just been put in, and usually start working after 24~48 hours. After ants start working, if they feel that the progress of digging holes is slow and they are often in a state of rest, they should call the police and dig more holes quickly! If the ants don't do it for a long time and the temperature is not too low, we should consider changing a batch of ants!

(5) If there are water drops in the container of the ant house, you can wipe it with clean cotton cloth or paper towel before releasing the ants. When the water vapor condenses in the container due to the temperature difference, you can open the lid and air it for a while. Be careful not to let the ants get away!

(10), the average life span of ants at home is about 3-6 months; Some ants will live longer, and some ants only have a short life span of 1 month. No matter whether you order ants or catch them yourself, there will always be some diligence and some laziness. When the ants are dead, you can clean up the dead ants and their residual limbs with cloth or paper towels, and then put a batch of new ants in to see how they react and rebuild the existing tunnels.

(1 1), after playing for a period of time, if you think the tunnel built by these ants is not artistic enough, you can also clean up the dead ants or other dirty things in the colloid, then cover it, open the plug, heat the ant house in the microwave oven for 3-4 minutes, let the colloid melt and then cool, just like before. Be careful not to heat for too long to avoid colloid overflowing the container. This method needs to be operated by adults and carried out by children under the guidance of parents!

Ants have lived on this planet for more than 1000 generations, while human history is only 100,000 generations. Today, mankind is destroying a large number of species, making the biosphere far from being a beautiful and interesting place.

Let's get close to and respect these humble ants, at least they will help mankind keep the balance of the world and keep the paradise in our place as it was when mankind first came.

16. What should players pay attention to? For details, please go to /modou/about.asp? action=lxwm

(1) Never put food or water into the container of the ant house, which will only destroy the environment of the product and cause colloid deterioration.

(2) Even if there are no ants, don't open the lid for a long time to avoid the colloid shrinking and deforming.

(3) Don't spend too long letting ants out of the air, and don't try to make a new hole in the lid or plug. Although ants can't run out, the colloid will dry up if the holes are opened too much.
