The fight against ants in the garden does not always end in favor of gardeners.
Manufacturers compete with each other to offer a huge number of chemical means against ants, but not all of them are useful in practice: they can be destructive to all living things.
Most ant control products contain diazinon, which blocks the production of an enzyme responsible for the functioning of the ants' nervous system.
Please note that the use of pesticides is highly undesirable, they are considered a radical means of fighting ants. The poisonous substance is dangerous for humans, pets and beneficial insects.
How to get rid of ants on your property
Ants will run away from your plot in a flash if they don't like the specific smells. Therefore, regularly spread sawdust with mashed garlic and anise leaves around the beds and your home.
A sponge soaked in sugar solution will quickly reduce the number of ants in your garden. Don't forget to dip it in boiling water when insects gather on it.
Ant Repellent
In early spring, it is practical to combat ants using diazinon-based products.
The product is used as soon as the ants have opened their nests, and the beds have not yet been planted.
Using a spray, you need to treat the boundaries of your site and any ant mounds you find.
This method will help you quickly deal with ants at a stage when they are still very weak after the winter and have not yet had time to get stronger and multiply.
