Small ants. Big plans.

Watch your colony come alive.

Grow the nest.

Worker ants find food and carry it home, and every bite helps you hatch more ants. Soon the whole garden is busy.

Defend against bugs.

Cockroaches, beetles, yellow jackets and spiders wander in. Send your soldiers, and every bug they defeat becomes food.
