Ants in snake enclosures!!!!!

[sagara_cp_2006]

I am not sure how common a problem this is, however I have a problem with ants getting in my snake enclosures.
The snake enclosures are given a full clean out each week with the base covering (marine carpet) hosed off thoroughly as well as the hides and water bowls cleaned. I am still howevr finding ants in the enclosures and can't leave food in the enclosures for longer than 5 minutes without ants attacking it.

Any help would be appreciated on ways I can get rid of the ants without harming my snakes.

Thank you for help

Top of descent. Usually used for mites, but it'll knock ants over just s quick.

Thank you. Can you get it from pet stores or do you have to go to a vet?
