Looking for solutions in the aforementioned bug war, Scott suggested the Fool-A-Bug anti bug bowl.
Fool A Bug Bowl
This bowl is up on posts, and would require an ant to do some crazy gymnastics to get the food.

The bowl worked remarkably well; the ants never got into his food after that. Unfortunately, the ants were still EVERYWHERE so the problem wasn’t solved. My solution?
The ORKIN MAN
One quick call and the next day I couldn’t find a single ant.

The empire struck back a few days later however. Though the Ant Kingdom was in ruins, their enemies, the Spiders, without a foe, struck my camp. Toki was bit by some kind of spider or bug in the face. His face ballooned up, and I had to take him to the vet.

This is him all puffed up

This is what he usually looks like

I called Orkin back up and had them come in and do spiders (this is included for free with my previous service). Hopefully that is the end of that.
