ANTS

Try to tolerate ants outdoors as they are part of the environment and control many pests such as termites, cockroaches, fleas and flies.

Suggested Organic Strategies:

• Flood with water to move ants from plant pots and outdoor nests away from the house.

• Store food and kitchen compost in well sealed containers.

• Use horticultural glues around tree trunks to aid biological control of scales, aphids and mealy bugs, as ants defend these pests from attack by their natural enemies to maintain their supply of honeydew.

• Use  boric acid based ant products as a least toxic control.

• Wipe over ant trails with pennyroyal or eucalyptus oil.
