 Stupid ants

apparently I live on an ant hill. I’ve tried everything. Including the baby powder. It doesn’t work. They keep coming in and eating my crickets. I have one last option and that is spraying with raid. Im going to spray around my room and around where I keep the crickets. Stupid ants.

The baby powder work, it’s just that you’re not doing something right or maybe my container have smooth surfaces while your is a bumpy one.

i do have ant problem some weeks back, i figure it out that if i cover the rearing container with fine thin cloth, like those use to make t-shirt, it keeps the ants away and does no affect ventilation, worth a try, good luck

hey man be careful with that poisen. I would put a little self rising cornmeal where they keep coming in, the ants will bringit back to the queen and it will kill her. do that along with the t-shirt cloth thing and it will eventualy kill all the ants lol. That should help in the long run
