Ants are everywhere today-in the cupboard,crawling on the floor.The weather is so dry and hot they are coming in for moisture.I jokingly say "Ants are my friends"but I am loathing cleaning up all the time.Everytime I clean up there is something else they have attacked.The worst thing is getting into to my cats bowl.To counteract this I have placed the food bowl inside another bowl filled with water.All is well until the cat drops food on the floor and then the trails begin again.
Any clues about my dilemma to keep ants away in a non toxic environmentally friendly way.So far I have tried peppermint oil and talcum powder with minimal success.

I heard Ellen De Generes yesterday talking non stop about her plague of ants and today I come across your post lol
I had ants in my cabin in Greece one summer- a line of them by the sink and found a way of dealing with them. What I used to do is swat flies as they flew towards the mess in front of the window by the sink and leave them there. The ants would come , eat up the flies and disappear. lol True.

sorry , that should read " mesh " in front of the window , not mess
