Ants in the cat food
Challenge: I have ants attacking my cat’s food dish. What should i do?
The Best Result: In addition to the Corn Meal trick (which will kill off the ants that come for kitty food, there are a couple of really quick methods of repelling the ants from getting to your cat’s food dish.
One of them is to simply draw a circle around the bowl with a piece of chalk. The ants won’t cross the line. They have to go elsewhere to find a snack, unless they can figure out how to build a bridge.
The other method, which is the one that we use quite a bit here at Admiration Ranch, is to put a moat around the food. You simply put a small food dish inside a larger bowl with water in it. The ants can’t get past the moat, again that is unless they can build a bridge.
