Instead of fighting ants, don't let them into your area: effective preventive measures
As almost every summer resident knows, the process of getting rid of ants can hardly be characterized by simplicity and speed.
So why allow insects to settle on your property at all?
To show the ants that they are not welcome, dig up your garden every spring and fall.
This way you will not allow them to establish themselves in the soil.
It is worth scattering odorous substances around the perimeter of the area. There are many smells that ants cannot stand, and here is a list of the most "strong" ones.
It includes aromas of cinnamon, chili pepper, ground bay leaf, camphor, and cloves.
In addition, insects will not be able to live in places where mint, tomatoes, valerian, sage, rosemary and nasturtium grow.
Therefore, in addition to traditionally grown crops, plant a couple of bushes of the above-mentioned plants on your plot.
