Enhance your ant farm ecosystem with the Tropical Grey Isopods, Trichorhina tomentosa (Clean-up Crew for Ant Farm). Most of you have seen it in your garden, also known as a woodlouse, under stones and rotten wood. This tiny whitish creature, about 5 mm long, features eyes of one black, sometimes faint, ommatidium and a distinctive oval shape covered in short club-like spines. Perfect as a clean-up crew, these isopods help maintain cleanliness by breaking down organic waste, ensuring a healthy environment for your ant colonies. Interestingly, only females exist, and it's thought they reproduce without males, making them a hassle-free addition to your setup.

At Best Ants UK, we prioritize the health and vitality of your ants with our top-notch products and expert care solutions.

Approximately 25-30 multi-sized isopods are in one batch.

UK Live Arrival Guarantee

Every queen is checked and fed by hand before dispatch. Best Ants UK guarantees your queen ant arrives alive.

If she does not, we replace her — no argument, no restocking fee.

Live colonies are dispatched Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. This is deliberate: ants are never held in a depot over a weekend. Orders placed outside those days go out on the next dispatch day, packed the same morning they travel.

Bred in-house in Surrey since 1997. Shipped Royal Mail Tracked, mainland UK. Free delivery over £99.

Queen ants are living animals. We only dispatch colonies we would keep ourselves.

We are here because of you. Thank you.

The satisfaction of our customers speaks volumes
