Well...this trick doesn't seem to be working too well as I still see tiny ants on the floor around the tray. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Also is there an insecticide that is animal-friendly that I can use in the house? Thanks for any help...

We have two
cats; Mikey, Harry and Hershey and leave their food down too but haven't had any ants in this new home.
When we lived in Hadley, after a lot of rain we would see little pith anth in the bathrooms, but not around the cat food. We would call Massey or was it Deans, and they would come and spray and put down tiny little ant traps. That would work for about six months.
We love our two cats and are very protective but Deans and Massey and the other big pest people know how to get rid of ants without endangering your pets.
You may have to temporarily move their bowls while they are spraying.
I think the rain is sending them indoors.
Kind wishes,
Gracie
