| Ants eating pink polystyrene insulation in doghouses...... OK, this is a weird one...  I build some new doghouses this summer and insulated the roofs and floors with the pink rigid polystyrene insulation. Tonight I noticed a large amount of fine pink "sawdust" inside the doghouse and I lifted the removeable roof and found that ants had burrowed and tunneled in the insulation and chewed paths to the extent that the insulation can be crumbled away with my fingers in several places. I need some suggestions on - what kills ants but won't poison the dogs and how dio you keep the little b*****ds from eating all the insulation out of everything? I expect bugs to eat natural stuff like wood but synthetic insulation???? I just build a three hole set of summer dogboxes that are completlely insulated with this stuff and am nervous about what is going on under the wood....  Depressed DIY'er |
