Step 3: Laying out the Mines (i.e. soda caps)

Now that everything is mixed, you'll want to spoon the jelly into soda caps (like I said before, other shallow lids should work as well, but soda caps are small and easy to put out of the way, so that's what we used).

You don't need to use too many - my hallmates and I just used one or two caps per room with ant problems. Don't spread them out all over the floor - you'll just step on them.

When you're done filling up the number of caps you need, place them somewhere on the floor, but out of the way (obviously in a room with ants). WE put ours in room corners, behind table legs, etc.
