I recall some discussions in previous FML's about ferret safe insect
repellent.  I just found some in a gardening catalog: Gardener's Supply
Company
 
They offer a product called Concern Citrus Home Pest Control.  It's an Ant
and Roach killer that's safe to use near food.  It's made from orange peel
not noxious chemicals.  It's supposed to be good on ants, roaches, fleas
and silverfish, and they claim that if you spray it around your window and
door frames it helps to repel bugs for weeks.
 
It's $7.50 for a 32 oz. bottle.
 
I'm thinking that if it's safe to use around food, it should be safe to
spray around a fuzzy cage in cases of ant infestation.  Of course I would
take the fuzzies out of the cage area completely before spraying.

I thought this might be a good idea!
