Yeah, i'll do that. I got some non toxic glue and will do it tonight, move the tower they are in right now off the mat, and put the other one on it. And see if i can add a small light inside to further encourage them to move out. Maybe even let the water run out so the area becomes less desirable to live even further.

I would try to move them out, so you can glue it to ensure no escapes. Or you could do the light thing, it depends what you want

you can dry the place out so they will move away. Ants love humid places and need moisture for the young.KingKongCoen wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 8:17 amYeah, i'll do that.
