These insects seem harmless only at first glance.
In fact, they can harm plantings and actively spread aphids around the site. Therefore, experienced gardeners prefer to take measures to drive away ants.
You can deal with these insects on your plot using millet.
The cereal should be used raw, but to attract ants, it is advisable to combine it with powdered sugar. For 500 grams of millet, only 100 grams of the sweet product will be enough.
This mixture should be sprinkled on anthills.
The product will become a real poison for insects. After all, the ants' organisms cannot digest this cereal.
In addition, when millet falls to the bottom of an anthill, it becomes moldy under the influence of moisture. As a result, a fungus appears, the smell of which repels pests.
There is another way to make bait. To do this, you need to soak the cereal for 15 minutes. But you should first dilute sugar or honey in the water. Such bait can be left near the anthill.
