Okay well I give my birds fresh egg food and the attack it. There are so many and the only place I can keep my birds is outside. They will be having there first clutch soon and I DO NOT want my babies to get attacked by ants?

HELP!? Thank You.

I don't know what products are available in the US, but if you can get something like our Coopex a spray with that around the perimeter should be OK.

Okay thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure what's available in the US but Coopex is a Bayer formulation of 250g/kg Permethrin (a residual pyrethroid insecticide) as a water dispersable powder.

I really appreciate it! thanks

And put your egg food in a container that is within a container of water so they are not being encouraged to come in for food.
