When the ant population in the garden increases noticeably, you need to start fighting them.
If this is not done, then an invasion of aphids can be expected soon.
There are many chemicals that can help you get rid of the problem. However, you can pay attention to the affordable and safe boric acid, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer.
How to use the product correctly
In combination with chicken egg
You will need to boil the egg until fully cooked and grind it using a grater. Then add one packet of boric acid and mix the ingredients.
All that remains is to form small balls and place them in places where you most often observe pests.
In combination with sugar
Ants are partial to sweets, so you need to use them to neutralize insects. You can try one simple method.
You will need to mix 2-3 spoons of sugar with a packet of acid. Spread the resulting solution near the anthill or sprinkle on the paths along which the pests move.
We use banana peels
After you have eaten the fruit, the peel should sit for a couple of days. After that, we treat it with a mixture of water and a tablespoon of boric acid.
The peel should be left near the anthill or the place where you most often encounter a large number of insects.
