Looking for an ant farm that is easy to look after? Our plastic ant nests are built for clean, low-maintenance antkeeping. They are light, durable and easy to clean, and the built-in hydration systems keep humidity stable without daily attention. That makes them a great first ant farm for beginners and a reliable workhorse for experienced keepers.

All plastic nests are designed and produced in-house by Esthetic Ants and connect with standard tubing to our outworlds, Ytong nests and other modules, so you can expand your setup as the colony grows.

  • Mesh Nests (Small, Medium, Large, XL): winding chambers under a clear lid with escape-proof mesh ventilation. Start with the Small Mesh Nest for a founding colony and move up as your workers multiply.
  • The Avalon Ant Nest: a low-maintenance nest with a large water reservoir, ideal if you want stable humidity for weeks at a time.

Plastic nests suit most common US species, from black garden ants and cornfield ants to acrobat ants. New to the hobby? Read why ants make great pets or learn how to catch your own queen ant.

All orders ship from within the United States, so there are no customs fees or import delays.
