Okay, the ants have found my mantis enclosures. <_< They were first scouts, and then now like 30 are here. I killed most with finger power. Tommorrow, there will be 100. What can I do to ant-proof my containers? Thanks.
Locating entry points would mean I'd pretty much have to tear up all the corners of my carpet and there is to much furniture in my room to do that without a major days worth of work. Normally I do most the spraying outside the house, and just a little indoors. I realized by my post it sounds like I go kamikaze with the spray but it is mainly only half a wall indoors that I bother with normally. As for baits, I doubt that would work/last very long. Living in South Florida you kill off one ant colony and another is just going to move straight in. I've found it is far easier just to encourage them to avoid coming in the house than taking out the colony/colonies surrounding our home.Krissim,Have you tried to locate entry points? You may be able to seal those and keep the ants out permenently. Have you tried to locate and treat the ant colony directly? Depending on the ant species, you could wipe the colony out with a commercial ant bait. A bait called Amdro works well on a large number of species in the US. Sometimes you just need to grind it into smaller pieces. HAve you tried to spray just the exterior of the house? Treating the exterior may be enough and you don't need to hit the interior at all!
