FAQ

Is the colour safe for ants?
Yes. Inert quartz with non-toxic colourant – safe for direct ant contact.

Will it bleed if wet?
No. The colour is fixed to the grain. Spraying or rinsing does not transfer colour.

Can I mix with natural sand?
Yes – common practice for a subtler colour effect.

Will ants dig in it?
Most digging species (Messor, Lasius, Formica) will tunnel in it like in natural sand.
