If ants are in the substrate you will have to completely clean the tank out and replace it.

What kind of substrate are you using? You may be able to bake it.

A picture could help. Or google 'coconut fiber', 'sand', 'eco earth' or 'bark chips' and see if it looks like any of the above.


But a picture on here of the substrate that your using would be ideal, and provide us a good starting point in narrowing down possibilities.
