In general, ants themselves are harmless to you and your gardens. But not only when they settle in the places where the crop will be grown, and at the roots of young trees. In this case, insects very quickly destroy the entire root system of your trees ... In this article we will talk about how to get rid of ants in the garden (including trees) and in the greenhouse. So, if you want to once and for all drive away the hated insects from your site, then adhere to the recommendations that we will give below!
How to get rid of ants in the garden
If the ants in the trees ...
- The easiest way is to “paint” the trunks of all the trees with a fairly strong mortar of lime. Ants shy away from him, like hell from incense!
- You can cover the bottom of the trunk (near the ground) with tar in a circular motion . This also repels insects.
- The most effective improvised way to get rid of ants in the garden, on the trees is water! Create a water barrier for ant-loving trees. Take a car tire. Cut it along in half, and then crosswise (to encircle the tree with it). Gird the trunk and slightly tuck the tire. Tightly cross-section. You will get a gutter circle. Pour water from the hose into it. All! Through such a "pool" ants are unlikely to be able to cross to a tree!
How to get rid of ants in the garden ...
If your garden plot is overpowered by ants, then we recommend using the radical and win-win method. Dig the entire area very carefully. Do not pay attention to the panic that these insects raised. Then mix ordinary ash with lime left over after processing the trees. Re-dig all the soil in the area and add the resulting “terrible” ant mixture to it. This work is physically difficult, but it will bring one hundred percent result. Ants, bulging eyes, will flee from your garden, leaving him once and for all alone!
How to get rid of ants in a greenhouse
- You need to make a mixture of jam and yeast. Insist her for two hours. You should have a low alcohol drink. Put this mixture in the greenhouse. She stupefies ants, they get drunk and forget about their duties to feed young animals. Repeat this process several times. As a result, drunk ants will never feed the young, and the whole nest will die!
- Alternatively, roll lumps from the resulting mixture and spread them throughout the greenhouse. The ants will get drunk, and then they will burst thanks to yeast!
- Dry boric acid perfectly solves the question of how to get rid of ants in the garden in general and in the greenhouse - in particular! You need to buy granules of dry boric acid in any pharmacy and sprinkle it around the entire perimeter of the greenhouse. This will make the insects leave their home forever.
- Alternatively, scatter ordinary millet around the greenhouse. It surprisingly repels these insects. In a week, most of the greenhouse ants will blow away like the wind!
Now we will list the most effective means that ants are afraid of. Most of these tools are in your home, while others can be purchased in stores:
- lime and ash;
- acetic acid;
- sunflower oil (with a smell);
- mint leaves, wormwood, elderberry;
- garlic and onions;
- urea.
