Bought a All you need solenopsis pack from ants canada, I also bought a hybrid nest mini. arrives in 2 weeks so excited to check on them tmr! I'll give y'all pictures!

It will be interesting to see how they do in an Ac settup. In have heard VERY different things about it.


 

And many Carnivorous plants such as: Dionea muscipula (fly trap), Sarracenia x 'Fiona' ( American Pitcher plant), Nepenthese ventrata (Tropical Pitcher plant), and Pinguicula agnata x emarginata (Butterwort) (show off your plants here)

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

A lot of people just said don't buy plastic set ups, but never actually bought an Ac kit, and then others who did buy it said it worked out great.

I think they’re only talking about DIY ant set ups. Ants Canada uses plastic bags that ants can’t chew through. He tested a lot of it on S germinate multiple times and minimal ecapees

Escapes isn’t the issue with plastic nests. The downside to plastic is that it is non-absorbent, which can lead to humidity problems and a possibly harmful build up of ant secretions like formic acid.

That won't be much of a problem for solenopsis.
