I’ll do that, in addition to keeping all colonies in a different room for a couple months, essentially ‘quarantining’ my room.

I just threw out all potentially infected tubes, threw all my ant stuff in the closet, and soaped any potentially contaminated surfaces.

I do hope that this will be our year, AntsDakota, with finding ant queens, as well as all other SD ant keepers. A fresh start, you might say, for a fresh new year.

it looks like an aspergillus fungus, just clean out the tubes with soap and water, and keep your deceased colonies away from the healthy colonies, and wash your hands before interaction with every colony, I've dealt with these in the past, I'm overreacting a bit but its a queen killer

Thanks. I sterilized all potentially infected surfaces and threw out all test tubes. Should this be enough to kill it?
