I had the same problem and I ended up putting vasoline on the legs of
the worm farm - ants can't get past it!

Thanks for the suggestions - I think I'll try the kero without the match!

and if they decide they like the kero you could always put a match to it
once they get in

Pour some kero into the water, it will float on top of the water and the
ants will not like it at all.

I am having a real problem with those little black ants in my worm farm.
I
put ice-cream containers under each leg and filled it with water which
stopped them for a couple of weeks, but the little buggers are now
swimming
across to get to the leg. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen
it
myself! Does anyone have any ideas of how to keep them out?

Thanks
