Pesky Ants Eating Cat Food
Last month, I was talking to my bug-guy, Bob. He’s friendly and very knowledgeable. I asked him what I could do about the tiny ants (I call Sugar ants, but I have no idea!) getting into Doofie’s dry cat food bowl. I keep a small bowl of food handy for her all the time in our kitchen area. I haven’t notice an ant problem other than the ones attracted to her food. I didn’t want to spray chemicals around her food-area because she often removes a piece of food and eats it off the floor. He had a terrific suggestion: place the bowl in a saucer filled with water. Bingo …works like a charm! I’ve noticed too, she’s eating more dry food now, which makes sense. Who would enjoy sticking their nose into a bowl with ants on the chance that they’d be bit? Thanks, Bob … and he didn’t charge extra for his advice! The perfect Ant-Be-Gone remedy!
