Keeping ants off my orange tree

Garlic/pepper tea will keep them away. Put two heads of garlic and two
hot peppers in a blender with enough water to let them liquify. Strain
the liquid and add water to make one gallon of ready-to-use. Spray it
where you don't want the ants.
Garlic/pepper tea also keeps away beneficials, so only spray it when
you really need it.
It can also clog sprayers even if you strain the mixture. Make it,
strain it, let it sit, and then decant it. That gets rid of the most
of the problem with particles.
