Hi, I have just got a female hybrid dwarf hamster named Angel A week ago and this after I saw ants trail into her bin cage. The last time I saw the cage without ants was like two hours ago which means the trail is fresh, so I feel cleaned the cage and replace the beddings. Sadly in Malaysia and the house in staying in is quite old, there can be ants, lizards, or small spiders anywhere somewhere anytime in the house. Can I spray eucalyptus oil around the outside of bin cage? Will that affect the respiratory system of Angel?
Any other suggestions that I can do immediately?
How about sticking a tape around the cage and stick it with some cinnamon powders?
