Summer is the time of blooming of lush and delicate peonies. Many people like these flowers because they perfectly decorate gardens, make them more festive, and also look great in vases.
But these flowers are liked not only by people, but also by ants. Insects can spoil fragile buds, spread aphids, which quickly destroy all plantings.
How to Protect Peonies from Ants
First, you need to clear the area under the bushes of weeds and debris. As a preventative measure, you can place repellent baits near the peonies.
Many summer residents use banana peels for this purpose, which they soak in boric acid.
The root zone can be treated with ash to make the bushes stronger.
The buds should be sprayed with a soap solution of 5 liters of water and 2 tablespoons of liquid soap. The procedure should be repeated approximately once a week.
If you follow these simple rules, you can protect flowers from pests and enjoy the lush and beautiful flowering of peonies.
