Free Fed Kittens v. Ant Invasion
I have 2 kittens who are pushing 20 weeks old and should have kibble
available to them all day in addition to their canned meals. Unfortunately, ants have founds the kittens dry food and have been just swarming it. What do I do? Mez |

Mez I use 9 " plastic party plates, place the ceramic bowl in the party plate, and fill the party plate with water. For protecting the dry food bags I use gladware plastic containers filled with water with a large plastic bowl - I use empty 2 pound margarine containers - turned upside down in it. The food bag is then placed on the overturned bowl. I have no problems with ants getting in the food. |

1) Move the food to a new location
2) In it's place, put some Advance Ant Bait (or some other kind of ant bait down. 3) Put the Ant Bait under something so ants can get it but the cas can't. Since the ants are already going there for food, they should keep goign to the same area but you will jsut be replacing the food with the bait. SHould eventually kill off the colony if they eat it and take it back with them. Or just follow where the ants go to and use any standard bug spray to kill them off if you can.
