Ants!

[JessicaK]

Since I got the bunnies, I've noticed a significant increase in the number of ants in my house :shock:
I clean the cage daily or every-other-day.
What else can/should I do?

Hmm this is a toughie. I'll give it some thought though!

There's a great site: natural-cures-for.com. Going to remedies, then ants, you get a list of things to try.

MINT Place some mint leaves around.
VINEGAR Spray diluted vinegar.
BLACK PEPPER Sprinkle around
CINNAMON Sprinkle around or place cinnamon sticks around.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

(not sure if mint will work before they eat it lol)

Yes, I was thinking the same thing about mint, unless you put it outside the cage. Ever seen a horse or a cow trying to reach the grass on the other side of a fence, that would be Derby trying to get at the mint on the otherside of a cage. lol

Cloves work to drive away ants. Simply cut pieces of panty hose or somilar material, place some cloves inside and tie up. Place around room (s).

I do a perimeter spray around the outside of the house about 3 times a year. So far, none inside.
