I have two slings (N. Vulpinus, A. Geniculata) and a L. Parahybana 3 yr old. The Lassie is in a tank and the slings are in glass jars. I've moved into a new apartment and it has ants.
The ants are twice as long as the width of a penpoint. They march in lines along the baseboards (where floor and wall meet). Then head up the wall, in a line, to the moulding where ceiling and wall meet.
A platoon infiltrated the N Vulpinus jar and I changed the substrate, sending them to Davey Jones locker while washing out the jar. I've put motor/engine oil around the jar, just off the cuff, to deter them. I haven't addressed the ant problem, household wide, on the whole.
In the meantime is there any better thing to smear on the jar to make an 'abandon hope all ye who enter here' zone they will not walk across, like camphor?
