Dirty Ant Nest

[Wood~Ant]

What do you do to persuade ants to clean up the place? If this colony took out the dirty carpet they have on the floor of their original nest, it could look really nice. No wonder they moved their queen and all the brood into the new nest next door.

My Camponotus nicobarensis are even worse, as they paste under the ceiling of their nest with all sorts of muck and rubbish, which sticks like glue when there is enough moisture present.
