Not all summer residents begin the fight against ants in a timely manner, missing the opportunity to defeat the pests at an early stage.
Because of this, it is necessary to think through a method of destroying not only ants, but also aphids.
If you notice that there are more and more insects on your property, don’t hesitate.
What are some simple and effective ways to control ants?
If there is an anthill nearby
Some summer residents find it difficult to overcome insects if there is an anthill nearby. However, there is a simple method that will help to destroy all pests in a few days, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert in the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer.
You will need to mix two spoons of water with a third of a spoon of boric acid, add a spoon of jam and sugar. The bait should be placed either on the paths used by insects or next to the anthill.
Infusions
This method is also effective when dealing with a large number of pests. You will need to take wormwood or orange peels and mix them with hot water.
The solution is infused for several hours. Then the resulting solution should be used to treat the paths or water the anthill itself.
Garlic
This product will also leave no chance for ants. You will need to take a whole head of garlic and chop it with a knife. Then mix the garlic mass with a liter of water and wait three hours.
The product is used using the same method as the previous ones.
