That's exactly why I don't use free services. They're garbage.

I wish more people would upload through the gallery on here. Some interesting old threads have unavailable photos now thanks to Photobucket.That's exactly why I don't use free services. They're garbage.

Yeah I’ve had that account since like 2001 I have a lot of stuff on there. I do use a different service now but I still have a lot of old photos on PB that I never transferred. One of these days when I have absolutely nothing going on I suppose I will take the time to reupload everything and then update that thread. Will take some time though. If there is anything specific you want to know just ask it in the thread and I’ll address it. Thanks and sorry.

Did you have any issues with any of the ingredients you used once you lived ants in or did they work as good as they looked?

No they worked just fine. I'm still using some of the ones shown in that thread however many years later without issue.

I'm pretty sure I've stated in my thread where and what brand of containers I use. But you can get them on amazon or you can buy them in bulk directly from pioneer plastics. That is what I did.
