how the fuck do I stop these fuckers? poison only works for a few days

How about you fucking clean the bowl after the cat is done eating.

A line of chalk or chewing tobacco. You would not notice but they have a real problem with those things for some reason. They don’t like mint either but idk about the cat.

Fucking clean?
Retard OP will build a fucking medieval castle instead of spending two minutes cleaning a bowl

Try apple cider vinegar. Just spray it along their trail and any cracks they come out of. Worked for me

Cats hate mint.

Ditch cat, feed the ants. It is clear they are the superior creature in your home

It takes a few weeks for borax gel to kill off the whole colony.

>>33209532 (OP)
Use a bait poison. Many come in plastic containers and will attract the ants. They'll come and eat it, return it home, and kill their whole colony.

I had the same problem with beetles getting into my dogs food all the time. I put duct tape with the glue facing out around the edge of her food bowl and it worked fairly well, just had to change the tape every so often.

chalk or diatomaceous earth, it's like walking on glass to them i guess
