Ants

Hi Everyone ,has anybody got a solution of getting rid of ants,without using toxic sprays or otherwise,These ants are the red biting kind ,they have gotten into Mrs GP's  raised bed of Strawberry's, any sugestions welcome.

Regards Mick

Work is for those people that don't Bird-watch!!!!  

  • I've just googled this problem & found some weird answers,

    apparently ants do not like cinnamon, so if you sprinkle this around the ants will move on,  they also do not like citrus oil mix 2oz of orange oil to a gallon of water & spray on the soil,

    don't know if they work but maybe worth a try.

    good luck
