    I can sooooo feel your pain. What kind of ants are we talking about? The small black ants? I can't imagine they would be too bad as long as they aren't fire ants. Of course those ants are the main reason we use Terminex.

    Re: Ants in house

    I use an ant and roach spray that I spray all over the corners and edges of the room, and CLEAN like crazy. Ants won't come around somewhere they can't find food. I also like to seal the edges of the floor with a silicone caulk. It cuts down on their access points so it's easier to figure out where to spray.

    A couple of ants in the cage shouldn't be a big deal, just squash the ones you find. Also I don't think they could pick up enough poison to be a danger to your snake. It's never been a problem for me.

    Re: Ants in house

    You could always use some PAM (provent-a-mite) in your snakes cage to rid you of any ants...better safe then sorry.


    BTW...PAM also works wonders in place of a bug spray around the house.

    Re: Ants in house

    I couldn't agree more. Follow the little boogers back to the source. Then annihilate them! Muh ha ha ha !!! Ok... I'm better now. I have caulked up any and all openings that I could find, and that helped quite a bit. Of course having said that I'll find the little boogers somewhere.
