How Do You Keep Ants Out Of Pet Food?
• Store extra food in sealed containers. Coffee cans, Tupperware, zip-lock bags, any type of container that will keep the ants out. Sometimes this may require placing a bag within a bag. In severe instances you may have to store the food in your freezer. • Remove existing ants. If ants are already in the food dish, cover the dish tightly and put the bowl of food in the freezer for about two hours. This will freeze and kill the ants while saving the food. • Take the dry food out of the freezer. By now the ants should be dead. Pour the dry food into a strainer, over a sink, and shake (just back and forth vigorously) until no more dead ants come out. This will keep from wasting the pet food as you can now re-serve it. • Go to the pet feeding area and make sure that there are no more morsels or crumbs of food on the floor.
