I need help with getting rid of ants. Over the last two days I have had a plague of them in the kitchen and living room. Is there anything anyone knows of that is cat-safe? The name of a chemical preferably, as I can't guarantee that any propriety product would be available here. I can't use chalk lines etc as they are coming up through the gaps in my parquet floor, which is not very well fitted. All suggestions gratefully received. I am of course taking extra care not to leave any crumbs, etc as temptation, and I am now feeding the cats on a plastic tray that I wash immediately.
