The fight against ants in the garden does not always end in favor of gardeners.
Manufacturers compete with each other to offer a huge number of chemical means against ants, but not all of them are useful in practice: they can be destructive to all living things.
Most ant control products contain diazinon, which blocks the production of an enzyme responsible for the functioning of the ants' nervous system.
Please note that the use of pesticides is highly undesirable, they are considered a radical means of fighting ants. The poisonous substance is dangerous for humans, pets and beneficial insects.
