I all of a sudden have a horrible case of ants in my home. The little
small, red ants. Not only is it annoying and inconvinient, but it is
embarrassing too. My problem is- I have a strict "no chemical" policy
for my yard and home. I use "green" cleaning products as much as
possible, but I definitely allow wildlife to run the yard- I don't use
chemicals to keep pests away. My squirrels are well-fed and fat. My
birds are also well fed, and all my "indoor pets" are fed before I am-
the rat Valentine, bunny Mr. Bun-Bun, birds Pheonix and Fabulous, 4
ferrets Pricess Sassafras, Nanook, Lola and Bella Blaze, and the Hermit
Crab, Sheldon.
My point being- What can I do for the ants that is not chemical and
safe for all the wildlife inside and out? Any suggestions? I have tried
pepper and cinnamon. I even wiped the "trail" they leave with vinegar.
Please help.
