Anise or ammonia essential oil with anise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ants have a very sensitive sense of smell and certain smells can be unbearable for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most effective is anise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make a small hole in the anthill about 10-15 cm deep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soak a cotton ball or piece of cloth with anise essential oil or anise-flavored ammonia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the cotton ball in the hole and cover it with soil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a few days, the ants will leave the place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Natural barriers with spices and plants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some spices and aromatic plants act as natural ant repellents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cinnamon and cloves:<\/strong>\u00a0Sprinkle them on the edges of the garden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Citrus peels:<\/strong>\u00a0Place them near the affected plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lavender and mint:<\/strong>\u00a0Planting them around the vegetable garden can keep ants away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Consejos_adicionales\">Additional Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep the garden clean and free of food debris or organic matter that attracts ants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If ants are breeding aphids on your plants, rinse the leaves with white soap and water to remove them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try different methods and combine several to increase their effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these natural tricks, you can keep your garden free of ants without the use of chemicals, thus protecting the balance of the ecosystem and the health of your plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ants can be a nuisance in the vegetable garden, especially when they breed aphids on fruit trees, which affects the health of the plants.
