Iodine by eliminating ants
In our area it is time to plant potatoes. If someone has not had time to plant, I advise you to read this article on how to treat the tubers, so that there was then the Colorado potato beetle on the tops.
We are in the spring in the garden, before you start planting all, look carefully to see if ants bred. I believe that in the area where there are no aphids, the ants also have nothing to do. Perhaps that is why on my site is not ants. With aphids, we learned to fight environmental manner described in article Aphids attacked?
But here's how to deal effectively with the ants, I do not really know. In addition to boric acid (which is used in the apartment) and I did not hear what destroy them, so as not moved to another point in the area, and it disappeared from the territory of our garden. Here again, communication with my lovely neighbors, I was introduced to the method in which I doubted. I'm a skeptic, did not want to believe the rumors, I try to check. Especially here on the channel readers deceive or mislead do not want to.
Once, looking for a neighbor's fence to "chat-greet", he asked what the owners are busy. A neighbor in the garden earth sprinkled with iodine diluted in water. Also from someone picked up by word of mouth this way and decided to try it. I arrived in the village after a week, and she told me boasted that ants have since passed away. This year, let's see how the summer will be.
Perhaps a good way to, so the concentration will bring. A solution of iodine from the ants are preparing: 1 small bottle of iodine per 3 liters of water. Stir and sprinkle ant hills and around the plants, where settled aphids, t. E. The place is suitable ants. Well, about getting rid of aphids do not forget.
If there are those who have tried this way of dealing with the ants, I beg you, respond in the comments. Or, perhaps, tried means more efficient?
Thank you in advance for the Huskies;)
