Have you just discovered a colony of fire ants in your plants?
We'll have to act quickly, because these ants sting and leave small pimples that scratch horribly.
Especially on children and animals... Sometimes you touch an anthill without doing it on purpose, just by digging the garden.
And there, it's a veritable arsenal of red ants springing up and crunching you in every way!
Fortunately, there is a natural treatment to get rid of red ants in the garden or vegetable patch while avoiding pesticides.
The natural trick is to mix washing-up liquid, orange essential oil and water . Watch:
- 100 ml dishwashing liquid
- 50 ml of orange essential oil
- 4 liters of water
- bucket
1. Pour all the ingredients into the bucket.
2. Mix everything well.
3. Gently approach the red ants' nest without disturbing them.
4. Gently pour the contents of the bucket onto the nest starting in the center and working in a circle.
5. Expand the circle outward, continuing to pour the mixture slowly.
6. Pour all the mixture well on the mound, even if the nest is small.
7. Let the mixture act for at least 1 hour before you can return to work the land quietly. No more risk of being bitten!
And There you go ! Thanks to this natural trick, no more red ants squatting in your garden :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
With 3 simple ingredients, you will be able to get rid of fire ants permanently and naturally.
And most importantly, start working in the garden again an hour later.
Do not excite the ants before pouring the mixture on them. They have to be "at home" to be sure to touch them all.
This trick also works against fire ants (Solenopsis invicta).
The dishwashing liquid allows the essential oil of orange to dilute perfectly in water.
And since it is slimy, it also suffocates ants.
Orange essential oil smells very strong, it dislodges and scares away ants.
Be careful not to overdose it, otherwise it turns into a herbicide.
As for the water, it helps to drown the ants at the bottom of the anthill.
This treatment is much more effective than boiling water, but it is really important not to disturb fire ants before applying this natural insecticide.
Why ? Otherwise the ants will start fleeing the nest and the treatment will be much less effective, if at all.
