Please Help With Ants

Are these the tiny ants ? Is it possible that they were hiding in the wings or somewhere on the dubia ? Post a few pics of the vaseline application on your containers. No insect likes to go through vaseline, it repels them and they also would not be able to struggle through it if it's been put on thick enough.

So are there hundreds in there again now or was that before ? Put a band of Vaseline about 2" wide all around the top edge of the container they can't get through it.

Woooooo… They’re back again. (Sorry for so many posts on this) It was going so well. Any other solutions? I have :

Cleaned everything out completely (containers and cabinet)
Removed the chemical trail
Set ant traps
Only put food at night (removed it in the morning)
Put Vaseline around all of the containers

And they STILL are in my Dubia roach colony. I don’t know about my superworms but they’re probably in there too. What else can I do?

Um, I think you have the rare paratrooper ants . They are a branch of the army ant and there might be an airborne division. Yeah, that's it, that's it.
