Ants in the....Dog bowls

I have wasted so much dog food, throwing it out because the ants have invaded it. So I did some, yep thats right, research and found two options. I tried both and both work amazing.  But we forewarned you need to replace both these every few days.

For the dog bowl in the house, I drew a ring of bar soap around the dog bowl. Apparently the ants wont cross it. I had to lay it on pretty thick though. But after a couple days they figured it out or the scent or whatever keeps them away wears off. So what I did was used a scrub brush to wash that area. The ants cant pick up their own smell (so Im told) if you wash it away. Then I just draw a new ring.

For the dog bowl outside, I put the dog bowl food in a bigger bowl of water, creating a mote and the ants wont cross. Its important to replace this water every couple days, not because the ants come back but because if you dont, the food that drops in there, lets off the worst vomit smell ever...I know, trust me!
