Yeah, The fungus is doing great though and all newly attached nests were cleaned in a sink with soap and left to sit in the freezer for a day. I am a very cautious guy.
just a helpful tip, i would not clean ant things with soap. nothing will probably happen, but there is the chance that soap is left in the container, and it is bad for ants. i use vinegar and baking soda, as it is a natural cleaner. that is just what i do.
Does that kill all the bacteria?
yes it does. the vinegar and baking soda create a chemical reaction that basically destroys mold. vinegar is acidic, so it is also good at destroying anything else bad that is there as well
