Ants in your pants ? Washable nappies in the Tropics

[4gotoindia]

Hi there,
Anyone use Motherease nappies in very hot places??? The reason I ask is that now that summer is here we are getting lots more ants. And the ants seem to love the motherease wraps. They seem to chew through the plastic. Ours are getting riddled with holes, and are no longer water-tight. But worse they are nasty biting ants that hide in the creases ? and that has made the wraps virtually unusable. They manage to find the wraps despite my best efforts at putting them in unreachable places? hanging them on a washing line that is attached to a rope? etc etc.
(We only use wraps when we go out - as it is too hot to use them all the time. But I want to be able to use them occasionally!)
Has anyone experienced this, and if so any tips???

You've worried me now!

I'm using Motherease wraps in Dubai (temps in 30s so far but will be getting a lot hotter soon).

We have LOTS of ants (bitey and other) but have never yet noticed them anywhere near our wraps.

In the olden days, the colonials used to put bed legs in small pots of water to stop the ants climbing up onto the bed and biting them when they were asleep. Could you use this idea somehow and see if it might work??? Keep them in a container in a chair with all four legs in pots of water?
