DOA (Dead on arrival) POLICY

Please note that up to half of the vial is acceptable for DOA; we include additional ants with every shipment for this purpose.

You will receive Free Replacement ants if more than half of the ants are dead on arrival and you chose expedited shipping AND a cold or heat pack. If you do not choose these options, we will not reship. On reshipment, the customer is responsible for all reshipment fees and returning the original shipment. For reshipment we will only pay for the ants. The customer will pay for any heat packs / cold pack and shipping type they prefer.

Remember that when dealing with any live animal, adult supervision is required. Red harvester ants have a poisonous sting and painful bite. Here are our recommendations for adding them to any habitat or ant farm.

Adults should only be the ones who add or remove the for Live ants See Instructions:

1. Place the ant vial in your refrigerator for approximately 15 - 20 minutes. The cold makes the ants lethargic and easier to handle.

2. Remove vial from refrigerator and visibly check if the ants have become less active. If they are not very active, it’s time to put them in the farm. Grab your ant farm habitat and open the top.

3. Carefully open the vial over the farm. Drop all live ants out into your habitat and use tweezers to remove any food that may have been with your shipment.

4. You may have some critters that perish during shipment. Remove these with tweezers.

5. Please remember: Due to the high volume of orders in the last 3 weeks before Christmas, NO guarantee is made on shipment time nor transit time. Order Early!! All Orders are filled on a first-come first-served basis. The reason for this is we get thousands of orders and ants are collected in the wild. During the winter months orders increase and ant availability decreases due to the temps.

6. A requested shipment date is only a request and not a guarantee. Our shipping date is also based off of product availability weather and current order volume. Orders may ship sooner or later than requested shipping date depending on these factors. One more time for those of you who missed it :) A date request is not a guaranteed ship date.

Upgraded shipping options pay for upgraded shipping services, NOT a faster handling time on our end. We do not guarantee arrival by any specific date on express shipping options because we do not control the mail. Insurance claims must be taken up with the issuing authority. (USPS, UPS, FedEx etc.) If you choose Priority shipping in both spots we automatically upgrade you to 1-2 day air for ants.

Most orders go out Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid weekend hold ups at shipping facilities.

While we leave the optional decisions up to the customer’s discretion based on weather and distance from Missouri, we HIGHLY recommend at least the Priority shipping upgrade and the Heat/Cold pack with any live stock including tadpoles. These can greatly increase ant survival rates. This decision is yours to make.

Red Harvester Ants are aggressive and can inflict painful bites and stings to adults and children. You should inspect your habitat daily to make sure it is in good shape and no ants can escape. If you are bitten, apply ice over the bitten or stung area until pain subsides. We also suggest immediately contacting your Doctor and/or seeking medical attention. Persons who are allergic to insect stings and venom may require Emergency medical attention.

If purchasing ant food, only use a few small grains a week. DO NOT pour the whole package into your sand ant farm because the food may grow mold. Gel farms do not require food because the gel is edible for the ants. We do sell replacement ant farm gel that comes in a dried powder that you create yourself.

International shipments ship via USPS or our international courier. Economy international shipping can take up to 40 business days, but two weeks is more typical. We do not ship livestock internationally because the long transit times and customs processing lead to unacceptable levels of ant death. We are happy to sell any ant farms or other habitats internationally.
