Ants are very hardworking. They can build ant hills and underground colonies very quickly. However, such neighbors in the garden only create problems. They are carriers of aphids and damage the quality of the soil. This is reported by the advice book, writes agronews.ua.
It is not necessary to use pesticides in the fight against ants, because they can damage the plants on the site. Experienced gardeners use boric acid. It is relatively safe, but effective. However, there are more humane methods.
You can water ants with boiling water, but this can damage the soil microflora and plant roots.
You can also spread salt on ant hills, but this has a negative effect on soil fertility.
Therefore, the most ecological and safe way would be to use garlic. To do this, you need to grind 1-2 cloves of garlic and put it in 1 liter of hot water. Leave to infuse for a while and water the ant hills. The colony will leave the place of residence.
