September 9 - Due to a lot of heavy rain (IMO), we had ants come to visit.

They returned this afternoon. The little bastards appear to be coming in through the TOP of the window.

I really want to NOT move the cats' food, and I would point out that for 7 months, we had no ants.

Suggestions?

The food dishes in a larger dish with a bit of water really does work. I did that the first time I had ants in the cat's room. Plus I put all of her food in containers that can be sealed, including treats.

I've never heard of the peppermint trick. I now have ants coming in whenever it rains in my kitchen. I will have to seek out some peppermint. Thanks!

Good luck. Make sure Mr. or Mrs. Cat don't like peppermint too! I had a cat that would eat everything and anything, it was like a dog.
