Results

And There you go ! Thanks to this natural trick, no more red ants that squat your garden :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, isn't it?

With 3 simple ingredients, you will be able to get rid of red ants sustainably and naturally.

Most importantly, start working in the garden again an hour later.

Do not excite the ants before pouring the mixture over. They have to be "at home" to be sure to touch them all.

This trick also works against fire ants (Solenopsis invicta).

Why does it work?

The washing-up liquid allows the essential oil of orange to be perfectly diluted in water.

And since it is slimy, it also suffocates ants.

Orange essential oil smells very strong, it dislodges and scares away ants.

Be careful not to overdose it, otherwise it turns into a herbicide.

As for the water, it allows the ants to drown at the bottom of the anthill.

This treatment is much more effective than boiling water, but it is really important not to disturb the red ants before applying this natural insecticide.

Why ? Otherwise the ants will start to flee the nest and the treatment will be much less effective, if at all.
