I have ants on the plants in my garden...how do I get rid of them
Comments (9)There are many ways to get rid of fire ants. You can use a mixture of sugar and borax. Pour the mixture around the ant hills, and the ants will carry it inside the colony, killing it off. Another solution is the sugar substitute, Equal or Nutri-Sweet. These have been known to be poisonous to ants. Just pour it around the hill and you will see little any bodies laying around in a couple days. Like the others have said, if it's garden ants let them be - unless it's a huge infestation.

Comments (3)Cats are moles worst enemy. Either get a cat and let it do outside alot, or because my cat is a housecat, I put the dung from the litter box near the mole holes and the moles run into another yard. It works. I was amazed. Good Luck. And don't forget to apply the grub stuff in late July again, which is coming up....See MoreAny Ideas How to Get Rid of Moles?
Comments (4)Doesn't mean you have grubs. They like earthworms. Victor Mole Traps. Scissor type. The plungers with the spikes don't work very well. Flatten the runs and see which are back the next day. Dig out a section the same size as the trap. Use your hands and scoop out the dirt down to the bottom of the tunnel. Try not to fill up the tunnel. Put the trap in between both openings. The mole will come to the opening and will want to get to the other side. He'll do that by digging down rather than going through the open secion. That's when the trap gets him. Sometimes. ;=) Paul...See MoreTunneler ID please: Mole, gopher, mole cricket, shrew, or vole (p
Comments (16)Don't get your knickers in a twist, kimmsr! lol...you just left out part of the helpful information. Actually, plain water and castor oil won't make an emulsion either, but a bit of soap would help the process. By the way, ladybugfalcon, the castor oil treatments really can help...unlike some of the other 'home remedies' you've heard of. I really like the chewing gum fable. I've heard that it MUST be Juicy Fruit, though different sources dictate that either needs to be chewed up a bit OR that it must never touch human hands. What a riot. Most people, however, find that mole traps are very effective, once you get the hang of them. They aren't for everybody, though. Unless you fear that you have a severe problem, you could simply keep the tunnels stamped down and hope that they lose interest in your yard. A few mole visits don't necessarily mean that you have to take action....See Morenightwatcher
