That won't hurt your ants? Having a hard problem stopping mold from starting.

There was a thread with a guy linking it already mixed with water, and several people pointed out you could order just the raw substance much, much cheaper.

Can I get clarification on the mixing ratio?  Bracchymyrmex mentions 3g per 1 litre of water, but subverted's guide states 3g per Gallon, or 3.78 litre...  I'm guessing it is per gallon since that is documented in a guide.

That's one of the reasons why I was asking for people to show their work. 

 

Follow up is to then question units but I'm waiting for first drafts before checking that. HINT.
