Ahhh no! This is sad.
We know, we get it! Sometimes we can no longer look after our pets and as heartbreaking as it is we need to find them new homes.
Whatever you do, DO NOT release your colony into the wild and please, for the love of ants DO NOT destroy your colony.
Not releasing them is crucial because you may be breaking the law if you release a non native species! But it is so much worse than that, a species our fragile ecosystem is not expecting will tip the delicate balance of survival over the edge... literally. The damage would be insane to the surrounding area.
We can help.
Giving up a colony - If you need a new home for your colony you can complete the form below and simply send the colony with a note of your Name, Address and enclose any receipts you may or may not have for its purchase.
Once we have your colony we will confirm by email that we have them and they are OK.
Please note:
Sending us your colony in our amnesty is surrendering your ownership of the colony and whatever you send. Your colony will live with us and the nesting items which are not Ant Antics will likely be disposed of. We are unable to return your colony or items to you if you change your mind.
Sending them in.
Simply pack your colonies carefully using padding where possible and post them 1st class to;
Ant Antics
Priory Street
Carmarthen
