hi guys~
need help here.
I was spending almost 2 hours daily juz for killing ants tat invade my Ts' enclosures and those on the shelf tat i put my Ts.
Eventhou i killed 1000 of them,there're still another 1000 of them waiting for me the next day i wake up.
really pissed me off~Geramnya~~~
So i made a container filled wif water and put them at each of the "legs" of the shelf im using to put my Ts.
And guess wat,those ants even go inside the water and attempt to swim across to reach the shelf.
Althou 90% of them will drown in the sea,but i was suprise tat there're still survivors!!!
So,the conclusion is,the water method doesnt work.
They can ignore their life juz to mess wif my Ts.
All the while im putting my Ts in my room.
when i 1st started wif ony 1 tarantula,there's no ants problem.
Now as my Ts number increasing,the amount of ants also increasing~!
I clean my Ts' enclosure everytime after they eat,there's no visible food leftover.
And i can ony place my Ts in my own room coz im living wif housemates.
Any other method i can prevent those ants?
thx~
I use commercial ant bait. Ants go in grab the stuff and return to the colony. Wipes out the colony. Usually takes 2-3 days. 4 days tops and no more ants. But Malaysia is a different story- got so many different kinds of ants! Not sure if it will work but it's worth a shot.
