Ants Taking Over Garden

[AnchoredHomestead]

Any ideas for organic gardening to get rid of ants? They’re all over! And no, I do not want my ladies in there eating because I have veggies sprouting! TIA

Good luck!

I've found that cinnamon works well.

I found this to work in my garden and completely free with little to no ingredient needed, albeit it is little unethical to start an ant war between two colony.

Hope it help with your situation ~

I live in SE Tx. We have what's called fire ants here. Imported from S. America so I hear. Nasty critters. Their sting will leave a small pustule which itches like crazy. Multiply that by hundreds of ants, (they will swarm you) they can, and will do a number on your feet, legs and hands if you let 'em. I've found only one way to control them. Notice I said control, not get rid of. Chemical pest control. I use Amdro. Seems to work pretty good for me. Takes a few days but will knock a mound down to an acceptable level.
I will not use it where the ladies can get to it. I have tried it in the area where they roam but it is a bait and they seem to think it is tasty.
