Very often, gardeners and plant lovers find themselves dealing with insects capable of destroying all their work, such as ants ,<\/strong> which can literally colonize gardens and balconies, but also our homes, attacking our food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they are not always harmful and are extremely important to the ecosystem, an excessive presence of ants can cause damage to plants and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many species of ants<\/strong> , but all of them can become harmful when their anthills become excessively populated and there is the presence of plant diseases such as fungi or aphids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have found the anthill<\/strong> , you can adopt simple natural remedies to destroy it or limit its size: below we will explain how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Kill ants with vinegar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mix 150 ml of vinegar with 150 ml of water. Dip a cloth in the solution and clean all surfaces frequented by ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This operation will interrupt the activity of the ants, as it is capable of erasing the traces they follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Water against ants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make holes around the anthill or place containers capable of generating a sticky barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create it, mix soap and water in the container or hole, add a few pieces of lemon or orange peel. This will prevent the ants from moving away from the anthill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Eliminate anthills with rice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blend 200 grams of brown rice until it becomes powdered. Place it in a perforated plastic bag, then sprinkle a small amount around the anthill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of this method is to attract ants to bring fragments of rice to the anthill. Over time the rice will dry out and absorb the moisture in the anthill, making it impossible for new ants to hatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know how to eliminate anthills and ants from the garden<\/strong> , try applying the methods listed above to avoid using chemicals and causing damage to the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
