DE is death to ants as long as you can keep it dry. And Terro ant bait is good, it just takes a while to work. There will always be another colony to replace the one you just eradicated. When I keep the inside perimeter of my GH dusted with DE I'll never see an ant.
Use beer
Or, you know, slug bait.
Ive never had luck with slug bait, it's like they would climb up my plants to get away from it. Beer works well in my experience and it's an excuse to take a few out when checking on plots
Did not know that. I don't really have a slug problem, but always toss out a little of the bait.
I don't like to put too much poison in the soil. The plant will take some of it up. I use Epson salts in my water through out the grow. A couple TBS per five gallons.
ants are bad this year. i use de on the regular and am still dealing with them.
Ants ate one of my Blue Shiva X Blue Shark sprouts. And I'm seeing a lot of them in the veggie garden too.
I learned yrs ago when I stopped using the pellets got a lot less slugs,de has worked great for me even sand will help repel them they will not cross sand
I use Sluggo plus. The "plus" is spinosad, which will help toward other pests.
yeah got the same brand, work wonders... it says to scatter a few around the desired area but i just sling them everywhere... cant be too sure
