Put them somewhere Argentine ants, or any ants for that matter can't get to.

I knew someone in california who lost a few T's to argentines. Now he puts all their setups in a container with about an inch of water in it.

problem with this is unless he changes the water often, crap will build up and ants will just walk over it
