best deterent?

[raxsoller]

what is the outworld barrier that keeps the ants in? Talc + alchohol is effective in starting colony but as the colony grow, they can pass through it in no time.now im using petroleum jelly, hope this works. Any suggestion?

Insect-a-slip is the best
It's a little expensive, but it's the best and a bottle lasts a long time.

I agree, Fluon/PTFE is really the best deterent.

[raxsoller]

thnx. But is there anything that can be substitute for fluon? It so hard to find. Where I can buy here in manila?

Some people use olive oil, but I've never tried it.
