Well, it worked! Kind of. 🤪 Now do I need to care about fire ants or can I leave them? Obviously they bite and that sucks, but I’m not doing a lot of digging around anyway. (Anymore)
Also, I’m starting to think the damage to the leaves was from a sharp temperature drop and downpour we had a couple days ago!
First year gardening in zone 9 and these bugs around something, that’s for sure!

Would love to find a safe natural way to get rid of fire ants. They have been so much worse this year getting in pots of seedling's and killing them either by eating on them, digging them out or just burying them.
Skip all the BS and just get yourself some professional-grade pesticide and soak it down
When you find out about the fire ants, let me know please what you used to kill him cause everybody laughed at me. I use grits lots of grits instant grits, quick grits and then when it rains ain’t no more fire or yeah but you gotta let them eat the grits now we’re 24 hours to take it all down water make it expand it. Yeah now I’m not saying it don’t move the colony but it move it away from my piece of grass so I don’t know if I’m killing him. I’m moving them, but they’re moving away from good old instant grits.
Use beer and a deeper dish bury level to ground and cover with box or rock that is shimmed up so it’s open to them crawling in
TNT in the background 😂😂
Acdc music in the background. Yay`♧
Cinnamon got rid of my bug issues in my garden.
Kill ants using one part Borax with 3 parts sugar, either powdered or granulated and add enough water to create a syrup, or use 1 tablespoon borax, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 cup warm water. Place the mixture on cotton balls, in jar lids, or on wax paper along ant trails to attract them.
And cinnamon
Use ginger powder. They hate the smell an move.
Just put out stale beer. Open a can leave it sit till evening, then get a 2 inch, or just as shallow as you can, pour beer in and they'll run to the pool party 💪 🙌🙌
Ps the cheaper the better
BIG LIE 🤥
Cinnamon on top of soil will help with the ants.
Use a mix of sugar water with borax and that should take care of the ants
Boric acid and sugar equal parts both and add water until the ingredients becomes like a paste of toothpaste and give it to the ants. They will disappear forever in 45 minutes
Cinnamon
Heres a method: mix hot water, a lil dish soap and a lil cayenne pepper. Mix it. Let it cool. Spray your plants either in the early morning or dusk. Works everytime so far
molasses get rid of ant
Corn meal for fire ants
Omggg i gotta try that in a bucket so i can put a lid on it and throw it out 😅
Get yourself a couple chickens… end of problem. Those are treats.
I wonder if beer traps might work? or is that only for snails and slugs?
An easier solution to all of this would be diatomaceous earth. It is non-toxic to humans to fish to animals, but very lethal, two pugs, snails, slugs, etc..
Another useless viral hack lol you just ended up feeding the Ants😂😂😂
Nice garden
Well what are you doing w the ants? We have fire ants everywhere in the yard, I treat a mount and they just move 3 foot to the left or right. Their ridiculous. I’ve tried sprays and granules and powders, it’s like nothing works on them and I’ve about had it. I’ve got a elderly cat and a puppy that I’m constantly trying to keep off the mounts but I have over an acre yard and they are just everywhere.
I am totally going to try this. Thank you
😂 that was not a 50/50 mix
Don’t be mean, don’t be mean, don’t be mean….using such shallow lids was an interesting idea. Maybe use something tall enough they can’t climb out of
For ant you can get grits not instant but regardless buy the next day ants are gone and it won't hurt the soil or other plants. I use it in my yard but I can't let my mom see me she loves grits.😂😂😂😂
something realy ate your bean?
Put borax in it it clearly will kill the ants
Will they go to the upper room or come back for seconds?
