Ants are considered the scourge of almost any garden plot, as they can damage plants and crops.

It turns out that to neutralize this threat, you can use simple millet, which can be bought in any store.

Ants are weak to sweet and starchy substances, which can be used to attract insects.

Millet does not cause harm to humans or plants – it decomposes safely in the soil.

We distribute millet around the anthill - the ants will take the grain and carry it to the anthill, which will soon be destroyed.

You can add silicon dust, boric acid and tea leaves to millet. This will help get rid of annoying insects faster.

It is recommended to use scents to repel - mint, essential oil, lavender, pepper and cinnamon are suitable.

These substances can be distributed around the nest or on the paths along which workers from the colony move.
