i keep my slings in small containers. like the one where they put gravies and sauces and sfuff. everytime i feed them, i always find little ants inside. but it doesn't seem to harm my t's. it's so annoying. i've tried putting the containers in a larger container filled with salt. (because i heard that salt discourages ants to pass through) but it doesn't seem to work. lol.

First you need to find the point of entry and take care of it.
Until then you can construct an anti-ant shelf. Take a board and drive four nails into the corners to create legs. You will then put these legs into four dishes filled with vegetable oil. This will keep the ants away from your Ts.
