I need help! Ants have invaded my tarantula's cage! They are in her hide and on the walls. Right now there are about 4. What should I do? My tarantula is a mexican red rump (about 2 inches long.)

I'd take her out and give her a temporary home then you can clean out her container. Boiling water is good for killing ants, just check that her home will withstand water that hot, glass will be ok but some plastics can warp. Give the container a good clean and put new substrate in then she can move back in..
