Turpentine expelled from ant beds

The surprising effect of our experiment. I am telling details.

I am by nature an experimenter and a supporter bezhimiynoy pest management in the country. Here accidentally hitting a friend in the village on the barbecue, and hearing complaints about ants in the beds, I came up with the idea. In the dressing room before seen a bottle of turpentine, and on the street in a pile of stacked chips, as were repairs around the house.

The hostess offered to try turpentine, because the same everywhere write, that the ants can not tolerate strong smells. Remember the article about the iodine solution by ants, one application was enough to banish. But the beds so spraying can burn and culture, it is not applicable. And I came up with to use turpentine with sawdust.

Turpentine (pine oil) floor of a glass solution in a liter of hot water, shake well, diluted in the same volume of hot water and filled in sawdust. It was better to hold at least an hour, to the solution is better absorbed into the sawdust. By the way, we took the sawdust is not too small. An hour later, the sawdust scattered on the two beds. Since the experiment was, we were just on the perimeter of the quadrangle beds laid out on a single beds. On the other a bed - as if made protective circles around the tomato, but at a safe distance.

The next day I called the hostess and boasted that ants can not see. Yes, I waited a week before writing this article and make sure that even after a week, it has no ants. Only I do not know how turpentine acts on the plants and, therefore, urge not to overdo it with this tool. Actually now I think that with the iodine solution can be the same, instead of turpentine experiment on beds, spread out, and not sprayed.
