There's a bit of an ant problem where I live. I don't think its nessicarly a HUGE problem, but its big enough where I'm concerned. I'm starting my seedlings in my bedroom closet in March and I'm a little worried the ants will reek havoc on my plants. Any suggestions on how to control the ants?
|
Cinnamon....they hate it and won't cross a line of it. Hope that helps!
|
I've heard borax works, too.
|
bay leaves
|
I use Terro. They eat it and take it back to the nest and die!
|
I've used borax before. One remedy I heard recently for fire ants is to put a spoonful of grits on the mound. It is supposed to dry the buggers out from the inside. I haven't tried that solution yet.
|
We use Terro after we find the reason they are coming into the house in the first place.
|
Grits works and my parents have tried it!!!
|
powdered chalk will work too.
Just make a line around your plants. |
If I can find where they are coming in I use baby powder. Just spread it around your plants and they won't be able to cross it.
