Time to use some pesticides. Or go to home depot and get a pack of ant bait. U get like 8 per pack. The ants take the poison down into the nest and they all die. You can get granules too. A big back of crystal granules you put it down and wet it and the ants die. But you really wanna get the queen ant. The ant bait would be good. I don't think ant do too much harm though. At least I haven't had them hurt anything.

BRO!!! If the ants are your only problem you most likely have your solution at home! Cinnamon powder! just sprinkle a descent amount on top of your soil to the point where visible sites show around 60% cinnamon and 40% dirt... The ratio of cinnamon to soil is not really important just have enough cinnamon.... Dont be afraid that you might burn your plant you wont! I did this about 2 weeks ago after having ant problems outside... I did just what i told you and bye bye ants... when you water dont worry about the cinnamon mixing with the soil on top not a problem at all.... I even sprinkle some on the plant itself a little here little there evenly around on my plant... do it you wont regret it

Been going through this over a year cause of my fruit trees. I gonna give u what I used this weekend and they are just bout all wiped out. One more application. Shoutout to riu member nuggs who schooled me. Borax itit's in ur detergent section. Mix 50/50 with sugar. Desolve in waster and put it where ever those fuckers r. Don't let pets or kids get to it but it is organic! And actually works. I've tried everything n this is a first

You know what else Borax works great on ? FLEAS ! sprinkle in your carpet and let settle in. I know SD is bad for fleas. We don't have fleas out here, to damn hot. lol . plenty of mites though.
