a turkey baster ;o)
What's the powder? Same stuff they sell for roaches? We make a mix up ourselves. Recipe as follows:
1/3 cup borax powder
1/3 cup confectioner's powder
1/3 cup white (or yellow) corn meal
Mix together. Place a bit on aluminum foil "boats" and slide in behind fridge, inside cabinets, closet floors, etc. etc. Can also be "blown" inside switch/plug outlets.
You know those huge palmetto roaches....used this formula in a cabin we rented 8 years back in Fla. Within 24 hours roaches were staggering across floor in death throes. Bwahahaha!!!!
I've not tried it here for the ants for fear that somehow one of many critters would find some and lick it. I think (don't know) that with the dog it would merely cause mouth irritation. Because they are cold-blooded, I'm afraid that it could cause major problem in a reptile.
However, I am now going to contemplate at least blowing some in behind the outlets. To my knowledge none of them have mastered the screwdriver so it should be safe behind walls *grin*
Luck!
