Hey lizzard/gecko peeps!
My poor guys ... I am not sure how much they are bothered but the ants (common ants) are coming into their tank to get to the water cup since it's been hot. It's been going on for 2 days now and it's driving me crazy.
I put a few terro-x ant liquid trap outside of their tank and by the window where the ants are coming from. That's working but still some are still in their tank. In Pangea website I saw folks suggesting peppermint oil diluted w/water to spray or borax. I think I read in a book somewhere that cresteds were first thought to be extinct partly due to foreign infestations of ants...etc...can these common ants hurt them? Geckos are staying up on branches so I can't see if they are bitten or anything. I do know these ants bite when it crawls on me.
Thanks for your input in advance!
