Hello,
I'm building an outside enclosure for my Russian, and while letting her roam around in the space today I noticed a big swarm of ants where she started to dig. They crawled over her but didn't seem to want to sting her. One got pretty close to her eye but she smashed it herself and I gave her a cool water bath later to wash it off. She's not living in the enclosure yet, but it should be finished day after tomorrow. I dug around experimentally and the ants seem confined to about 1 sq. ft so I'm guessing they have an ant hole nearby. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? I obviously don't want to use ant killer because I'm going to be planting the space later on and don't want her to eat any of it by mistake. Any comments/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
