Ants can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>protect and feed harmful insects such as aphids<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and ladybirds, allowing them to thrive and cause further damage to plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid damage to garden plants, it is important to maintain good ant control, for example by using&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>physical barriers<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or specific insecticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you can also purchase commercial insecticide-based products to kill ants, be aware that these can also harm other useful life forms in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to nature, using natural substances is the best option. In fact, natural materials such as talcum powder or corn flour can be used to repel ants.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also plant repellent herbs such as&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>mint or garlic around your garden<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28162\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/orto-curato.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28162\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical barriers can also help keep them away from our lettuce. We can create a barrier around the plants using a waterproof material, such as beeswax or silicone, to prevent ants from reaching our plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>create an attractive area<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;for ants away from your plants, so they can feed there instead of in the garden.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially in the summer months, ants can multiply around plants and interfere with their normal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if there are aphids and ants, a completely natural remedy that will keep ants away from our garden is corn flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28163\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/chiodi-di-garofano-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28163\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will have to sprinkle the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>corn flour around the plants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, the ants will take it to their nest and eat it but they will not be able to digest it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, cornmeal is not dangerous for children or pets, and ants do not like spices, such as cloves&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;cinnamon, chili powder, and coffee grounds.<br>Simply place them around the plant and this will keep ants from coming near.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When aphids and ants arrive in the garden, we have several options available to manage them, it is up to us to understand how to block their advance.
