Ants are a common problem for gardeners.
In this article, we will tell you how to effectively get rid of pests in the garden without killing the plants.
How to get rid of ants using hot water
This is the simplest and most famous way to fight ants. To kill insects, they are doused with boiling water.
You can pour boiling water over the nest entrances several times until you kill all the ants.
This method can help cope if there are not too many nests.
How to use cinnamon
If you want to try a more humane approach, you can use cinnamon.
Sprinkle cinnamon on the plant you want to protect from ants and watch them avoid it.
This ingredient does not kill insects, but repels them. This is the most humane method.
You can use orange peels
Orange peel is very effective in controlling ants in the garden. Surprisingly, it is deadly toxic to ants.
Orange peels contain organic components that are toxic to fungi.
Since the ants eat mushrooms, they will not have food and will choose another garden.
You can collect the peels from the oranges you eat and place them near your plants or on your lawn.
