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...

Food grade diatamaceous earth will get rid of pests but not harm the animal. It can also be used as a holistic type of wormer. They have it at the pet store in Spanish Plains.
