All the packages arrived perfect and very well packaged
So I ordered the fluon, sunburst ant food, and the Galileo liquid feeders off Amazon. All the packages arrived perfect and very well packaged. I have never used any of Terry's products before this. I stripped off my old fluon and apply byformica fluon. I use a open top and it did a perfect job keeping the ants in. They absolutely couldn't cross it. Next I used the liquid feeders filled with sunburst ant food. The feeders are fantastic looking and really add a lot of class to my set ups. The ants quickly found and really loved the sunburst ant food. I will be buying All of these products in the future they are of the highest quality and frankly I was very impressed. So it gets a 10 out of 10 for me. I will be doing a complete review in my YouTube channel. Really great stuff Terry keep up the fantastic work promoting our hobby!!

Buying again- would recommend
Product is the best barrier I’ve used- but it’s not a perfect product. My setup is a 10 gallon tank aquarium filled with dirt and have a very large colony. The barrier is always very reliable on the glass sides of the enclosure. The silicone corners however, need weekly maintenance to avoid escapes. I find I’m usually good for about 7-10 days before I need to reapply. And even then, the barrier holds up well enough so that only a few ants can make it to the top, so you’re not having massbreakouts. It’s more of the ants than it is the product, they’ll exploit any weakness in your setup. 4.5/5 stars.

Worth every penny.
This is by far the best ant barrier ever made. (Other than an air-tight lid of course). You can quite literally turn any ant outworld set up into an open top set up by using this fluon. I’ve used Other types of fluon and have mixed my own before but it is always very opaque and unsightly. This fluon is nearly completely invisible when it dries unless you angle a light behind it in the right spot to light up the fluon (check photos). It also last extremely long! I have an open top terrarium for my ant colony and I applied this fluon to the glass 4 months ago and it is still working like I put it on yesterday. Not on single ant has escaped in 4 months with one single application! At this rate, this 3 pack last me forever. Also the design of these fluon bottles are perfect for applying the fluon evenly and continuously. The dipstick bottle makes corner application a breeze which is nice because this is where ants are the most successful at passing slippery barriers. It is rather expensive, but is worth every penny for anyone who is an ant hobbiest/entomologist!

Keep your ants contained
Fluon is a vital tool to any ant keeper - no one wants ants running around freely in the house, even ones that are pets! You get a decent amount with these and the applicators really make it easy, just make sure you clean the surfaces you plan to apply to, or else the applicator material gets dirty fast. Most species can not pass a well applied fluon strip 2”-3” wide.

Works but not without some issues
I had some ants get through by climbing up the corners of the outside glass tank I put some along the plastic at the bottom because there was no sharp corners. So far it’s working I also bought crate trays to set the tanks on and put a line of diatomaceous earth as an extra protection! I lost 8 babies last year and don’t want to risk ants getting in. It also must be reapplied more often than stated if your using i on a tropical tank as it comes off with water. It says not to let it drip but that can be difficult because the sponge absorbs a lot and drips at first.

So far so good
I loved the packaging and the little extra fancy put in, love the roll on stick, makes applications much easier. So far great product, not too far into my ant journey so I’m not sure if it works yet, I’ll let ya know!!

I was slightly terrified using this product for the first time, but 3 days later, my ants are all still in the aquarium!!

I bought this product to keep my Lasius niger ants from escaping their outworld. These ants are well known for their escaping capabilities. It works really well and I'm very pleased with the quality of the product. The product is easy to apply on most surfaces straight from the bottles. Can recommend to others though the price is a little high for my taste. I bought this product in 2017 and it is still working as intended.
