One of the nice things about my house here is that I've rarely or never had to deal with ants.
But the other day Kitty's dry food was teeming with ants.
She was confused.
I defied my own tendency not to kill anything and sprayed the little blighters and their path to Kitty's bowl with bug spray.
But they were back in a day.
So now I'm only feeding Kitty enough to eat right now.
I am glad the ants are gone for...what's that crawling on me...wait...there are hundreds...no, thousands...they are trying to eat me...I must....aaarrgggghh.

That was a gift from the squirrel, I think.

@TheHorse He knew you didn't want fleas, so thought some 'aunts' would keep you company.

Ants can show up from nowhere. Hope you got away from them.

I have had an awful time with ants this year. I did buy a spray for fleas, ants, spiders, roaches, the whole nine yards. It is pretty effective, but still they persist. I sprinkle a bit of diatomaceous earth in their dry food. It is bad for the ants, but good for the cats.

If you find where they are coming from put some cinnamon there and it will help keep them away. I learned this when I lived in a little apartment a few years ago that had ants in the bathroom.

First a squirrel and now ants? You need an anti-pest program.

Every year, ants try to come in our kitchen window, even though I keep all the dishes done and the counters and floors clean. I think it's just scouts looking for something to eat, but Pretty goes out and sprays the back of the house and the trunk of a walnut tree that's growing at the window. It works for a month or so and then we have to spray again. They stop trying to come in when the weather starts turning chilly.

I never leave food for the kitties on the floor I always put the bowl or dish in the fridge till the next time, It does not seem that I have ants but if I leave any food on the counter some ants sow up and I wet a paper towel and wipe them away, Right now there are none.

In India we have a chalk called lakhsman rekha. We draw a circle around food items that's on the kitchen shelf to keep away ants.

I ABHOR ANTS. They always want to crawl on me. I HATE THEM! We always get ants during certain parts of the year. We use Terro. They take it back to the nest; and you can get rid of them all.
