RE: The invasion of the ants

Hi fabiola what a pest and yet a busy bunch they are.
I heard from my mum that when she finds a nest or a hole and sees some and they are near her precious flowers in her garden she makes a bundle and lays that over the hole
Lavender, mint, rosemary, marjory sage and basil , you could try it ! They will move btw not die

Hello @brittandjosie, how pleasant your visit in my backyard. Yes, it is a very annoying pest, and I cannot use chemicals because of the bees. I could try rosemary, mint is hard to come by, lavender is non-existent where I live, and basil I have, but I have seen ants camp at the foot of it. I'll try that suggestion. A big greeting.

Also olive or other nature oil will help but that’s a bit harsh
Hope it helps. Good luck

Good suggestion, I'll try soybean or corn oil. Olive oil in Venezuela is extremely expensive. Regards @brittandjosie

You can always try the cheap baby oil too

This is good idea!
