Hi.. How do you keep ants from going in the box turtles pen, they bite the turtles.. I live in AZ and the last few days they've been awful and I'm afraid they are going to eat my turtles.. Thanks

there is some killer ant bait that you can find at home depot I think that you can put around the outside of the enclosure that will stop them in there tracks.I also live in arizona how do you turtles do outside and where are you located in az?Im west of phoenix.

Thanks I'll look into it... I'm in East Mesa, They do fine outside except for the ants they are in a pen with large hibiscus, so pleanty of shad and I make sure it never drys out to much, they seem to like it.. I have tortoises too..
