First, I have done my research and all the references I've seen as to how to do this either say "do a search" or link to outdated links. And I'm in a huge hurry.
Ants have invaded my new (frog-free) viv. There have been numerous antpocalypses in our house this summer because of the drought. I've already sprayed and bleached away the ants on the trail as well as the scent of the trail, and taped up the openings where the ants were getting in. I've also located their entry point into the house, which is a corner of a window too high for me to get to. But I placed an ant trap (the kind that poisons them) on a shelf quite far from the viv and quite close to their entry spot. No more ants are actually going to the viv now.
But I need to blast the ones already in there before they start a colony. It's probably only been about seven hours that they've been invading so it might not be too late for me to get them all (and, sadly, my microfauna). My husband's out and can probably pick up dry ice.
Does someone have instructions on how to use the dry ice to CO2 bomb these little bastards? I've seen many don't's and almost no do's. Thank you.
