I do feed them on the counters (Nicki would otherwise eat all of their food.) Now that the weather's warm, they have little appetite, so much of what is put out in the morning is there at 2:00 in the afternoon. I don't want the ants to crawl around their food dishes. Someone once told me to put their food bowl inside another bowl filled with water, and that would keep the ants from crawling in their food.... yeah, but how do you stop a Pouncer from playing in his food water? Silly boy doesn;t play in it when its for drinking, but when its for ant control, he splish-splashes

Can I buy some exterior ant spray at the store (I've never done this before) and ould I have to reapply to ant stuff after rain?
