Is it safe to put soil from the outside into my ants outworlds? I'm afraid of a mite invasion, or pretty much anything that could potentially be deadly to my ants that might be in the soild. What do I do to ensure the safety of the my ants with outside soil? Still looking for neardy places to by soil, for some reason the places I usually get my soil, plants, and other terrarium things are running out of them. Probably my friends who live near me buy the soil for no reason knowing I'm running out of it. Also, even if I do find a place to get soil, I'm still curiouse about my original question. Thanks .

There is always the off chance something dangerous could be transferred in, the risk up to you though you can improve your chances by baking the soil though that could also reduce beneficial organisms.

Agreed. Bake the soil and you’ll be fine.
