What could I use to keep ants from swarming over the cat food bowl? I live in So. California & the ant season is upon us.
Two days ago I found ants swarming over the food in kitty's dish. I had to dump a day's supply of dry food. Then placed the bowl inside a shallow sort of tray filled with water. That seemed to work but this evening the bowl was full of ants again. Looks like the dish was touching the edge of the tray and that's all it took.
I used to have to use Raid at least once a year because of ant invasion. Didn't have a cat then - now I don't know what I could use.
To get rid of those already swarming I just used a couple of wet paper toweld & wiped them up but want something that will keep them from congregating in the feeding area.
Thanks for any suggestions.
