Destroy ants on the site or not - a private matter. These small workers can both help us and bring a lot of problems. On the one hand, the ants:
- Loosen the soil and allow the plant roots to breathe;
- Saturated earth important trace elements such as phosphorus and potassium;
- Exterminate many pests.
On the other hand, they are carriers of aphids - one of the most dangerous and common enemy of every gardener. Also, ants harm roots and tubers, which often leads to death of the plant.
For those who believe that it is necessary to destroy the ants, I'll tell you one thing not popular, but it is very effective means of struggle. This baby powder. Yes, yes, the simplest powder, which is sold in any store.
No need to buy branded powders, they differ only in a jar and a beautiful name. It will be sufficient for most simple 90-100 rubles. Make sure that it is powder, not cream.
The basis of this method lies in the fact that ants can not stand the smell of baby powder, so we will use it as a deterrent.
Enough white powder to sprinkle ant tracks, nests and places are often located. Over time, insects will leave the treated area. No harm to the soil and the plants will not bring powder.
Here's a simple way, which put an end to my struggle with ants.
