Hi all,
I have a terrarium in my room containing a mixture of carnivorous plants. Recently the ants invaded the house and a few found my Nepenthes, now the pitchers are full of ants! When there was only a few I didn't mind, however their numbers are increasing. The pitchers are regularly surrounded by 10+ ants and I'm afraid they might be trying to make a nest in the pot... While my plant loves it, I can't have this many ants in my room, they're getting into everything. :-(
Does anyone know of a something safe to use to kill the ants that won't harm my plants? Or a way to stop the ants from reaching the plants? I'm unable to move the plants outside or anywhere else in the house.
Thanks!
