Do you know what kind of ants? If they are Argentine ants (the teeny tiny ones), they are hard to get rid of. They are often found in bathrooms (looking for water). Once ants find food or water, the lay down a trail back to the nest so their buddies can also find it.
The only thing that we've found that works on that type of ant is Terro - it's a liquid but it can be purchased already inside traps. And it is safe for pets. Coby got ahold of one I missed a couple of months ago, and here's what I found on the Terro site:
FAQ::
I accidentally stepped on one of the ant traps. How toxic is this bait and will this exposure harm me? What if my cat or dog gets into the bait and eats some?
TERRO® Liquid Ant Bait is a sweet food based product similar to pancake
syrup combined with Borax. Borax is a mineral that is mined in the desert
in California and is a common active ingredient that is used in soap
products such as 20 Mule Team Borax.
The product kills ants but will not harm people or pets. If you spill some
on your skin there will be no reaction at all. Simply wash with warm water.
Pets occasionally find the Terro and eat it. Our advice when this happens
is to do nothing at all. The product is not toxic enough to cause a problem
and the pet will be just fine. |
