Any gardener dreams of a product that would allow them to painlessly fight insect pests, which include ants.
In the fight against these hard workers, summer residents use poisons or pour boiling water over the colonies. There are more humane options.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told which plants will protect your plot from the appearance of ants.
Summer residents often only manage to drive ants away from their habitual place. But soon the insects appear in another bed. If you drive a pest, then immediately behind the fence.
To do this, it is enough to plant 3 plants that ants cannot stand.
Tansy
It is used in folk medicine, and many pests, such as mosquitoes and flies, do not like it.
Ants rarely appear where tansy grows. But it is important to remember that tansy is a weed in the garden.
Sagebrush
Bedbugs, fleas, ants and other insects don't like it, and rodents frankly don't like it either.
Mint
In addition to ants, this plant will put spiders and mosquitoes to flight.
Unlike tansy or wormwood, mint cannot be called a weed. It can be grown in almost any part of the garden.
There is no need to remind about the health benefits of mint.
Previously, we talked about the cases in which mulch in the garden can cause harm .
