Poor Girl’s Garden , Part XVI, (April 25, 2010), Predator Ants (Natural Pest Control)

04/25/10 ~ After a night and day of wind and rain, the vegie plants needed to be assessed. Lo and Behold there were two ant mounds around the corn plant. The ants were acting like they owned the corn plants. They had already set up shop!

Linked Information – Environmentaly safe way to get rid of ants:
• Sounds crazy, but try vinegar! Fill a squirt bottle with plain old cheap white vinegar, and squirt it anyplace you’ve seen ants (kitchen counters, windowsills, etc) and let it dry. It’s non-toxic, won’t harm anything, and the smell will go away in just a couple of minutes. It worked for me!
• I have a suggestion for the ant problem; plain old cinnamon. I put in or at the site of the ant invasion, they back off quick!
Fill a spray bottle with water and add approximately 10 – 15 drops of peppermint essential oil , sometimes called Peppermint Spirits. Ants won’t cross the area because they hate the smell.
• A line of cayenne pepper usually stops them from crossing over it. For more information link: http://www.thefrugallife.com/ants.html
