carpenter ants.....

Fricken carpenter ants are getting into my house. Can my 3 toe boxie eat them? Its the only good thing to come out of it really.

I don't know. I would be afraid that too many ants can hurt the box turtles. I wonder if DE would get rid of them?

Not sure, I'm not even sure how to repell them or kill them safely. I have only found one in my boxies table. Mostly they are in my kitchen of all places....yuck!

I got some so called natural ant killer and it smells worse than raid :-(lysol works really well.

Man good luck with the carpenter ants hopefully the nest is outside and they are foraging inside. Tough to kill the colony by baits but it can be done. Good luck
