    Just bake the remaining bedding in oven at 250 for 30 mins. Will take care of your problem.

    My substrate doesn't come with ants, but I get them in the snake cages ALL the time. It's so frustrating. What can I use to keep them from getting in?! Right now I just clean maliciously every time I see one, and it seems to hold them off for a week or so.

    Get rid of the food brining them in :rofl:

    But anyways on a serious note. If the substrate isnt brining the ants in does ur house have ants itself? o.O Our house never has any ants in but iv seen peoples houses who sometimes do. If not then u may want to find the source

    Yes, the entire house is infested with ants. It's a constant battle. They are all just "sugar ants" but they are still annoying.

    Well maybe u could put some stuff around the bottom of the cage or rack whatever your sitting on. like say for example u got a table. And on that table is ur tub.

    Well for the ants to get up it they would have to climb up. If i recall theres like a powder you can lay on the floor or some sort of spray. Maybe u could spray it around the base of ur rack if it isnt close enough to harm any of the snakes.

    Edit:

    Googles sugar ants got this

    Maybe could try the borax thing around ur table/rack/stand w/e it may be?
