So I found a few ants the other day around the racks. and at least triple that today. I put ant pad things (like the roach hotels but for ants) around an under5 the racks. is there anything else that I can do so that I don't have a swarm of ants within the next few days.

I have a lot of ways to suggest.(some with humor)
First I see that we are talking "Georgia Peach" ants and not aunts. So I'll
pass up saying tell her not to come over any more.

A guy I know had ants so bad, the only thing that worked was dynimite. R.I.P....Benny.............not suggested yet.

Installing little ant collars and a invisible fence setup is rather time
consuming and at certain times the little collars are rather hard to find.

*************So what I would really suggest is what I do:
get a Sprayer(some nice ones are battery power..(no pumping up)....get a flea, ant, cricket, ??, etc. liquid......Some will have a sprayer on the
plastic jug.
Spray the interior edges of walls where the floor covering meets the wall...also spray across entry door thresholds .......
***exclude your gecko/reptile area.........
.......***.next, out side spray all around perimeter of house +
include door entry thresholds, window facings, and any entry hole
made as per "Larry, the Cable Guy", etc........The outside product will
have to be sprayed about twice as often as inside.........I spray cold and warm months as it will also knock out winter pest that want inside
to survive. Spiders, etc.................Take care, wear rubber gloves....
Or hire your ORKIN MAN.............
and spend what could be GECKO BUCKS......Take care.... HJ.

I just had ants a few days ago. They were in 6 of my crested setups I would check the bins in the rack for them as well .Then follow the trail. I used baby powder It contains (talc) which ants wont cross I also heard cinammon and pepper work .I pulled back my carpet and put it all along the baseboard in the room I havent seen one since corn meal works good they eat it and it expands in their tummy. From my experience I would use the powder it is the most humane way thx
