ants everywhere!
"flower faerie" wrote in message ... Sacha wrote: flower faerie4/5/04 3:10 Hello I have lots of ant hills appearing all over my lawn. I prefer not to mow the lawn too short but want to try and get the ants to live somewhere else like in the flower borders. Also I dont want to put down ant powder. any ideas? ff Some people say that using a powder like Vim or Ajax sprinkled over the area will work. Now I'm wondering if such things are still made! I don't really want to spread chemicals around the place. I'd rather live with them! I was hoping somebody knew of a natural deterrent or something that the little loves hate so much they pack their bags and migrate next door What sort of 'natural deterrent' that isnt a chemical are you planning to use? I suppose gas plasma from the sun or EM radiation are natural and not chemicals, but other than that I suggest you are unlikely to find something that isnt a chemical. FWIW gas plasma from the sun would definitely encourage them to migrate, but might have a deleterious effect upon the neighbourhood, and according to what I remember of the 1950's film 'them', EM radiation would cause them to grow to 10ft long so I wouldnt recommend that. -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks for email address |
