A healthy colony is a happy colony.

​

Ants have evolved for millions of years alongside many other microorganisms to recycle waste materials on our planet. Where you may think of ants as dirty creatures living in the ground, it is crucial that they keep themselves and their homes clean. 

​

All subterranean colonies do require an entire biome or microflora and microfauna that help keep things balanced. These include various insects, arthropods, springtails, mites, bacteria and in some cases, even certain beneficial molds and fungus. 

​

Without them, the entire colony can collapse from all kinds of threats.

 

As the pet industry continues to learn about and lean on cleaner crews like springtails and isopods, here you will find those organisms and more that will keep your ants healthy and natural!

​

These creatures are in no way harmful to your ants, or your home -- as many of them can be found in the very flowerpots that you keep indoors.
