A square 24"$\times$24" plastic container was filled with sand and used to house antlions during each trial, the plastic container was adjusted to a 12$\times$12 container using a plastic barrier between trials.
Between trials, 20 6-inch diameter circular plastic containers were used to house the antlions and were also filled with sand.
In order to house the antlions 3 50-pound bags (150 pounds in total) were used to fill the individual 6-inch containers and the trial boxes. 
A total of 20 antlions were used throughout all trials in order to properly collect data, along with this a 3-foot string was used to create a grid system that housed the antlions.
Furthermore, a ruler (with Centimeters), a sharpie, and 20 toothpicks were needed to properly determine the position and qualities of each pit.
A small plastic cup 2 inches in diameter, a brush to flatten antlion trails, and several rocks were also needed to serve as obstacles and disruptors towards the antlion’s communication patterns. 
Finally, an ample supply of ants was needed to feed the antlions throughout the study, as well as a sieve to properly find, move, and collect the antlions.
