Question:

how do you kill ants in the garden?

There are certain areas of my garden that have thousands of ant homes.. Help???

Answer:

Sprinkle Borax in an area the ants are all in. Borax is much better than any commercial ant killer I've ever tried and it is a lot cheaper.
lets okorder /
Sprinkle some laundry powder over the ant mound. In a couple of days they will be either dead or moved...usually dead. Good luck and enjoy!
Cornmeal. The ants will eat it and they bloat and die. It's all natural, wont seep into your soil and contaminate it.
Ants do not like vinegar. Vinegar is acid and burns them. I use a full strength and pour in the ant hill ants don't come back! Don't get any on the leaves of plants or you'll get burn patches Try Household Borax the 5 Mule Kind used for laundry cleaning and sugar mixed in instead of toxic boric acid and you'll kill the ants and laundry borax is not toxic like boric acid. Diatomaceous earth is crushed up limestone that is sharply edged and when bugs walk across it the material cuts through the bugs exoskeleton and they die. When they die leave the dead ones there as bugs do not return where fellow bugs have died.
