I've heard that solution before, just forgot it. I'm
going to try to remember it from now on.

I've got a short 11 ft. water hose on a second
nozzel out back that I use to rinse off Teddy's legs
if he's got any "tortoise chow" on him (Mazuri)
or even greens from indoors. I keep his poop
cleaned up and gather up those rascal Hibiscus
flowers when they drop off right away - this keeps
the ants to a "normal" level, meaning I don't notice
them and they don't bother Teddy. I don't have anything
in his pen but his grazing mix and have the inside
of the pen lined with some centiped sod and all
around the outside of his pen.

(EJ - don't read this about the 2 hose outlets/fixtures
my husband got for Teddy - I can hear you gag! LOL)
