Does anyone know how to get rid of ants around a pond without harming the fish?
I have ants in my plants also! Plants, not pants! LOL!

In a large bucket, mix hot water, a good squirt of dish soap, and a
can of orange juice concentrate or whatever citrus juice you may have
on hand. Pour it all around.

It doesn't get rid of the ants, but it sure makes them taste nice :-)

Sounds like it would smell good! Wouldnt the orange juice sugar attract more
ants?

No

You can get these baited ant stakes, where the poison is enclosed and can't
blow or leak into the pond. I've found them to work really well by putting
one stake every 4 feet between the rock edge and the sod. ~ jan
