Gardening

Break it to me; the ants are farming them, aren’t they 😭😭😭 natural ways to deal with this?

Sharing my interests will make more people want to follow me.

I sadly fear to the ladybugs in my garden right now because I have a bunch of helpful parasitic wasps and pray mantis...who both eat everything except ants 🫠 These ants are doing the aphids a real service..

I will try cinnamon though, that is a great idea!

Yeah… they probably are. Try cinnamon, neem oil, or introducing ladybugs!

Yeah, they actually store them during the winter and bring them out like cattle when the temperatures are okay.

A solution I tend to use, since I’m a smoker, is to soak a cigarette in water for a day or two, then spray that water over them. Nicotine kills them quite effectively.
