Ant Traps

[iggylove]

Hey everyone!

It's me again! I've now had Mario since mid-February!
The weather has gotten HOT, and the ants have found their way inside our house again. Argh.
So, today, my mom went to the store and bought ant traps; she placed them in corners around the house, though Mario has already found a few of them. Everytime he'd go near them, we'd tell him, 'No,' and he'd back away. But we can't keep our eyes on him all the time.

So my question is.. are ant traps safe to put around the house with Mario freely walking about?

The best thing is to place the ant traps where your dog can't get to them, inside counters, above nose reach, ect... Ant traps that are just sticky are safe, but ant traps that kill or that put a chemical on the ant to take back to the colony to kill can be dangerous.

Also you might want to try Ant Kill, which is a liquid, just a drop here and there give amazing results and the dose you put around the house is so low as to pose no threat.

Cheers,
