Ants Ants Ants

[zombiepixel]

I just walked into my office, moved my main cricket container and there were ants crawling in and out of it. We can't find where they are coming in at probably because it's cold now. Now I have this cricket bin that I don't know what to do with, I had t put it outside because I can't tell how many ants are there.

Has anyone had the same problem? what do I do?

What she meant was pepper or Diatomaceous Earth (DE), the food-grade kind, which is known to be effective against most species of ants. It's a sedimentary rock used for many purposes, including pest control. In short, DE prompts dehydration in some insects.
