It took over a year but I got ants in my enclosure, right now they don't seem to be bothering Marvel but don't want them there. What have you guys done to correct this problem.

I used the food grade diamatious earth and boiling water. Poor the boiling water over first and then sprinkle the DE. Also line the outside of the enclosure with the DE to keep new ones from coming in. I had some stubborn ones that kept coming back but they finally quit after the third running off.

Take a look at our frequently asked questions section. There's a whole thread dedicated to ants.
