How to get rid of ants in the garden beds without harming the future harvest: folk methods
During the summer cottage season, various pests cause enormous damage to plantings and future harvests.
Most often, gardeners complain about ants, which settle in entire colonies and can destroy all young plantings and seedlings in one season.
This happens because ants not only damage the root system of plants, but also carry aphids.
Therefore, it is very important to treat the beds from such pests in a timely manner.
However, this must be done carefully and gently so as not to damage delicate cultivated plants.
One of the most popular and safe methods of fighting ants is soda. It is sprinkled generously in places where insects gather, on their paths, around the entrances to the anthill.
You can also get an excellent result by mixing ammonia and water: two tablespoons of alcohol per 500 ml of liquid. The resulting solution is poured over anthills and places where there are the most ants.
Boric acid is considered an indispensable tool in the fight against a wide variety of pests. The most important thing is to use it carefully, not forgetting about safety measures.
In early spring, to prevent ants from spreading aphids across the trees, the trunks near the ground are wrapped with strips of fabric soaked in regular sunflower oil.
