I have a huge problem, and hope that someone can please help resolve it.

I got home this afternoon and found those tiny black ants in a few of my enclosures. 2 T's was dead, and the enclosure full of ants. I've tried to clean out most of the enclosures, and had to rehouse some of the T's.

There is nothing dead in my room, they just moved in with their eggs! Could it be that they know there is rain coming?

I know that I can't use Doom or any other insect repellent. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

If you don't have baby powder, cinnamon also works wonders.
Safe for the Ts and the Ants don't cross it.

no t's dnt just die like that.their whole structure is built for survival.so a whif of repelent or doom wnt kill them.throw a cover over them then lightly spray the bottom of the rack or whatever.dnt use a fan it will lift the repelent.after a night take off the cover.read it...tried it...and it worked.but i took the t's away bfore i started spraying

Good luck with that... sorry about your two T's :(

The greatest treasures are not gold, nor jewels, nor works of art. They can't be held in your hands, they are held within your heart. For worldly things will fade away as seasons come and go. But the treasure of true friendship will never lose it's glo..
