How to get rid of ants in the garden forever

Some information on ant control

Ants are considered to be the most common insects in garden plots. They do not interfere with many, but still have a certain effect on plants and the environment. In this article we will try to find out why ants appear on the sites, and what needs to be done in order to get rid of them as pests.

Fighting ants is a laborious process: they are quite tenacious and multiply very quickly, anthills are almost impossible to destroy at one time. This problem requires not only an integrated approach, but also the use of expensive means, components, and preparations. If you start to etch out ants incorrectly, then their number may, on the contrary, become even larger. In addition, if you constantly process the area with the largest number of ants with the same chemical solution, then they develop immunity, and the remedy becomes generally ineffective.

In addition to the fact that insects quickly adapt to the inconveniences that gardeners and gardeners create for them, they can seriously harm the plants and trees that grow on the site. The main problem that the reproduction and invasion of ants leads to is that they build giant anthills in depth, they can build their dwellings in the rhizomes of plants and trees. If insects gain a foothold in any tree, then it may gradually die, and this will happen within one and a half to two years. It can be noted that neither plants nor weeds ever grow near anthills, since ants simply destroy any root system and do not allow the plant to germinate.

That is why, as soon as you notice that aphids have appeared on the site, you must initially take measures to get rid of it, and then get rid of the ants.
