EVIL ANTS!!

Hey..
Well It has been raining here lately...so my outdoor enclosure (containing a baritji) has been totally invaded by ants!!!!! There a literally millions of them they are every where.....and when I found them this morning I had to move out my baritji..coz they were attacking him!!! (hes OK).. SO i was wondering how can I get rid of these ants PERMENTLY??? Without hurting the baritji?????????

From previous experience with ants and birds brodie, I'd have to say with extreme dificulty. A water moat around the cage is about the only chemical free way that I know of.

borrow an ant eater from the zoo, not cheap though, $45 a half day!

In all seriousness, I would call an bug eliminator and ask his advice, advice is free, well usually!
