Hi guys,

So I have had these crickets (in a Cricket Keeper, the kind with tubes) for about a week. Since I live in a fairly warm area, I thought it would be a great idea to keep them outside on the balcony...everything was fine this entire week...and then today, I went out there to give my frog his meal and the cage was -swarming- with ants. I don't know if they were attracted by the food (raw potato), or by the few dead crickets in there, but they're everywhere...Tomorrow, I'm going to kill everything in there and get fresh crickets. But how can I prevent this from happening in the future? Putting the cricket cage inside the apartment won't work, one, because my roommates wouldn't love that, and two, we have an ant problem -inside- as well.
Thanks for your time,
A T

Edit: Now that I think about it...this has absolutely nothing to do with tree frogs...haha, I just kind of automatically put it here because I have a tree frog. Sorry. Move this thread to the relevant subforum please?
