Why do seasoned gardeners, upon seeing ants on their plot, not hesitate for a minute to start fighting these insects?

The answer was found by an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh : ants at the very least breed aphids, the harm from which is obvious.

In addition, ant colonies eat flower buds, thereby causing significant damage to flower beds, flower gardens and alpine slides. And ants are also not averse to tasting berries, root vegetables and other fruits containing sugar.

Therefore, if you want to get rid of insects without causing damage to plants, future harvests and, of course, your own health, use the method from this article.

To implement it, you need the most common semolina. The whole point is that the digestive system of these creatures is not able to cope with small crushed grain, thus becoming a deadly weapon of mass destruction for ants.

First, mix semolina and powdered sugar (for 3 kg of semolina you will need 600 g of sugar).

Sprinkle the resulting mixture generously over the nest and other places where pests have been noticed.

After 2-3 days, fill the anthill with water and wait: after 7-10 days the ants will completely disappear from your area.
