Refillable tube – 18x180mm Model 718

Description

Refillable tube – 18x180mm Model 718, reusable and Made in France in thick, quality glass. Many improvements make it possible to raise a small or medium borer colony over the long term with a better success rate than conventional tubes.

Huge advantage : compared to the plaster tube made in China, it has an autonomy of several weeks or months because it contains liquid water and not wet sand! And refillable afterwards with a special syringe. No risk of losing the colony by forgetting.

Resistant composite cap: discourages the majority of boring workers. Enough to avoid digging in the majority of cases and in particular for medium-sized colonies. For 100% resistance to the most aggressive and numerous species, an “over-armored” option exists with an integrated stainless steel grid.

Anti-mold and anti-mite treatment: an exclusive treatment has a repellent effect on parasitic mites and fights against mold to keep your colony healthy and protected from pests.

Intermediate humidity: this comes from a cement stopper absorbs and diffuses into the air of the tube. It is suitable for large species (Messor, Camponotus, etc.).

Non-compartmentalized tube, open along the entire length.

The recurring problems with the tubes we tested are: static electricity, a water refill system but too little autonomy and dried up dead ants, too fragile foams or a fragile resin plaster slab, moldy cotton , poorly managed humidity, tubes too small for Messor, thin tube.

The Refillable Water Tube is a top-of-the-range and qualitative system for the success of your foundation:

• Tube sold with empty reserve. Autonomy of several weeks once full!
• Refillable with water using a special optional syringe.
  
• Glass tube without harmful static electricity for ants,
• 1 Non-toxic foam healthier than usual PVA foam for water supply,
• White solid composite slab over the foam.
• Improved slab for better longevity, superior to resin plaster,

Manual :

1. Fill with water using a 0.33mm needle available in pharmacies or the special syringe on our site.
2. Close the filling hole with Crystal Scotch.
3. Install the queen or the colony in the tube with water reserve. Connect the tube to a hunting area and leave the end ajar for good ventilation.
4. Change the tape every 15 days to make a call for air and allow the cement slab to absorb the water from the reserve.

Attention :

• Thoroughly dry the glass to set the adhesive, and only use the Scotch Crystal reference for its long-lasting quality.
• Do not heat the tube at the cement or water level, heat at the ant side.
