Ant infestation of Gardenia - how to get rid of them

The ants are only indirectly the problem, but nothing I'm getting from this guy says he's much interested in anything but killing the ants. Spinosad products used as a soil drench are not going to kill any bees, and are not going to linger in the environment. Instead of running in circles and shrieking "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" , why not encourage his fumbling efforts to use a less harmful product? Please note my original question was: 'Has anyone used a Spinosad product on gardenias with success?' Understood from the radio program's host that Spinosad is an organic product - a good thing. Reading from the Dow AgroSciences site - 'Spinosad is derived through the fermentation of a naturally occurring organism. It uniquely combines the efficacy of synthetic products with the benefits of biological insect pest control products.' Whether it kills ants or repels them was not the question. Wanted to find out what experience others had to determine if the product can be used on gardenias without damaging / injuring the plant. Regards, Doug |
