How do you get ants in the cage? :main_huh:

Not entirely sure on this one, but if you have an ant problem or something in your house, then I would move the cage to somewhere where the ants aren't a problem, then get a pesticide layed down in the affected area.
Once the ants are gone, disinfect the area and move the cage back.

Other than that I don't really see how you could solve the problem.

Do you eat, or leave food or drinks anywhere near the gecko cage? If you do, that's your problem...don't treat the area with pesticides or anything...leave some ant "traps" out, but remove whatever food source is attracting the ants. :)

ahh, maybe don't use a pesticide then :)
I figured it might be ok if the geckos had been moved, and the area was disinfected after wards.

As well as any food sources, ensure you remove any fecal matter whenever you see it (if you don't already), im not sure if this would be the case, but maybe that would be attracting the ants?
