Professional

The most professional modern insect company I’ve dealt with, the experience from start to finish was above and beyond. To start they were friendly and concise with my additional parts I wanted to add to my order no hassle what so ever. The order was super quick to arrive and fully integrated into the shop app which made it super easy for me to check for updates on my order. When it arrived it was taped in a unique and branded ant antics style with clear writing for the Postal service to be careful with it. When I opened the package there I was greeted with my 24 hour live shipping guarantee with clear instructions about the guarantee. Next were the two certificates for the colonies I had bought with unique identifiers and where the ants were sourced from and additional information on help and support absolute perfection you can’t ask for more than that. The ants arrived in the plastic test tubes with a serial numbers on each just another mark of pure care taken from this extraordinary company. Each tube carefully inside the packaging was secured with really cool custom foam fittings and a sugar snaps sample for the ants was added in as well. I will 100% be going here for all my ant needs in the future, I wish there where more companies who took such pride in there stores.

Quality sales team, Excellent products and after sales service

I brought 4 different Queen ants my first order from Antantics. I now have over 20 in my collection suppled from 5 different companies.
Without a doubt these were the best packaged, along with fantastic guides on keeping each individual species. I was gobsmacked at the quality of the items sent to me and will only buy from these guys in the future

“One of the Best!” - Ants Britania

By far one of the best Queen Ant retailers I’ve ever come across!

The attention to detail is amazing! With most retailers, queens just come packaged in a standard Jiffy bag or box but with Ant Antics, it was stepped it up a notch!

I have now received two queens/packages from these guys and it genuinely feels like you are receiving a pet compared to an insect.

My queens came well packaged, insulated & healthy. Included in the package was all the guides to help get you started on your journey which was super helpful!

Highly recommend! - Ants Britania / Cameron

Forget the competition, these guys are the best!

Just awesome. There really is no other store selling pet ants that even come remotely close to these guys.
The service is perfect, the queen i received is perfect and the supporting information that came with her is way beyond any competitors. Finally we have a REAL company in the ant space. Im a converted customer for sure!

One word: Impeccable!

One word: Impeccable!

Ant Antics have given me the best possible experience I could ask for, when buying ants.

The service from start to end has been incredible and the after care, whether 2 weeks or 6 months down the line, is always spot on. They always provide me with such valuable advice, when I need it.

I have used several ant retailers to buy Queen Ants from, but none have compared to Ant Antics. Finding them, was the best thing to happen.

The boxing is fantastic and so well done, that opening it feels as special as opening a Christmas gift! Nothing compares to their quality, care and attention to detail.

Be sure you and your Queen Ant will be well looked after with Ant Antics. I have 4 healthy, thriving and beautiful Queens from them.

Thank you Ant Antics!
