I've been in my apartment for about 9 months now, and it has been bug free all this time. It gets warm out, and suddenly I'm noticing ants! I've found six so far. I thought maybe they were coming in through my window, since I have opened a bunch since it got warm. A window screen doesn't quite meet the frame and I thougt maybe they managed to get in that way. I shut the windows. I found a couple more ants this morning, including one on my ratties' cage!! I haven't squished them, merely caught them and set htem loose outide because if you squish them, ants send out a pheromone that will attract more of it's colony to investigate. I am pretty anti-pesticide because of my preferred natural living, but I don't want ants in my place. Can anyone name some effective, but non-toxic ant repellant?
