How to Get Rid of Ants Without Harming Cats
- 1). Watch the ants to determine the points at which they enter the house.
- 2). Seal off any holes at these points with a silicon caulk gun.
- 3). Clean these points using vinegar or water with dish detergent. This will help kill some of the ants and prevent them from walking in these areas.
- 4). Set out shallow dishes of maple syrup at these points. If the ants are sugar ants, they will crawl into the maple syrup and drown. If you do not find ants in the syrup within two days and there are still ants crawling in the house, then they are grease ants.
- 5). Place peanut oil in shallow dishes at the points of entry to kill grease ants.
