Lush peonies appear on the plots at the beginning of summer. The bushes not only attract attention, but also make any plot more "elegant".
But what to do if ants appear on the bushes?
Some gardeners believe that there is nothing to worry about and that the insects are harmless. But is that true?
Still, opinions are divided and some are sure that ants are real pests that can ruin the condition of buds and spread aphids.
The latter pest, by the way, is destructive to all plantings, since it feeds on plant sap, which can ultimately even lead to the death of the bushes.
If it is noticed that ants are causing harm, then measures should be taken as soon as possible.
Some people prefer to fight insects using folk methods, but special preparations are much more effective.
Experienced summer residents recommend paying attention to "Muravin", "Muravyed", and "Raptor" gel against ants.
As for the last preparation, it is enough to carefully smear it on the peony buds to solve the problem of ant attacks.
