Some responsible summer residents, when ants first appear on their property, begin to think about ways to combat them.
After all, delay can be costly.
If you don't pay attention to the ants, you will soon be forced to look for ways to combat aphids. Therefore, it is worth starting to fight the ants from the very beginning.
What methods will work?
Smoked fish
Few people know that this is a very simple and effective method of fighting insects. Moreover, you don't need to "give" expensive and tasty smoked fish to the ants: it is enough to send the fish head directly to the anthill.
Smoked meats can be replaced with garlic, which is pre-cut into several pieces.
Herbs
Some plants are also unpleasant for ants, which can be safely used against them. If you have tomato tops left after side-sonning, then you can safely send them to the anthill.
Insects also don't like tansy and parsley.
Cinnamon
This method is less well known: for some unknown reason, ants simply hate ground cinnamon. Therefore, the spice can be used to treat paths.
