Summer residents have a dual attitude towards ants: they are natural enemies of a number of pests, but they also have comrades among parasites.

Therefore, experienced gardeners have nothing against ants, but they want them to build their homes far away from the plot and precious plantings.

Special means

Garden stores have ant repellents for every taste. All of them promise fast and effective elimination of uninvited "guests".

But, as practice shows, it is better to get rid of ants using means that are not intended to combat them.

Among folk tricks, there are many options that help clear the area of pests, including ants.

A clever trick

This method has already become a classic. Summer residents use semolina to rid their gardens and vegetable gardens of insects.

About 2-3 kg of semolina is mixed with 500 g of powdered sugar, and then sprinkled on the anthill. Leave for 2-3 days, and then the nest is generously watered.

After 8-10 days the colony will die because it will not be able to digest the semolina. The remaining ants will flee in panic, leaving the area alone.
