What a wonderful natural remedy! I never would have thought of this. Thank you for being so observant of natures workings and sharing this non chemical solution!
Thank you more...every comment and every thumbs up makes TH-cam share the video to help even more people that may need the information;) Thanks a million for taking time to support n write
Let them battle it out. A few weeks ago I found all these dead ants on a pathway . the only thing I could conclude was they went to war as I dontnuse any pesticides on my property except for a barrier against my house and that was just one time because I saw cockroaches in my yard and didn't want them making it into my home. They never did. I also used baking soda around the perimeters of my home too.
Thank you! Thank you! This worked so well! We started using this method in our gardens a couple of months ago, after watching this video, and it has worked each time. We could never bring ourselves to use chemicals near our gardens, so we would always just put up with the ants. Now we don't have to. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much! I've tried this twice and have managed to get rid of two giant, annoying, and in-my-way ant hills! It really works! I am amazed and thrilled to know I will be able to fight what has been a constant frustration for years!! I will be forever grateful. Grow grow grow!!
Amazing ! I'm 62yr old gardner who never knew this b4 & have put up with ants for yrs because I refused to use poison. Im so happy to have this knowledge finally !!! THANKYOU !
unless there invasive ants don't kill them they supply the roots with oxygen and kill some pests like grasshoppers whats your home state so I can tell the details of whats invasive and what's not for you if your in the northeastern USA some common invasive ants are pharaoh ants (those golden ants you find in your house) and Myrmica Rubra (europian fire ants) they can also be good for soil decomposition and seed disposal
Of all the videos you've made, this is the one that's helped me the most since I first saw it. Just moved an anthill on top of another one again. Wanted to come back and leave a comment haha.
You mentioned this in another video and I gave it a try. It worked! It took a couple "transfers" lol, but it definitely worked. Thank you so much! And thanks for this video of the before and after!
Yeah the last one I just showed empty and piles and it was with a container.....this time I wanted to show in real time for(you know how people are).........wasnt no ants in that container...you know those types lol
That is an interesting concept I’ve never heard of before! We don’t have an ant pile in our garden and honestly I can’t find any in our yard, but we have ants all over the plants in the garden. Ive tried cinnamon and cayenne pepper to no avail. The ants foster the white flies and aphids and make a buggy mess in the garden.
Lol... I just found a bunch of ants in my cucumber container and was trying to figure out how to savage the compost they are in. 😂Time to find another ant pile. Let the ant wars begin!!!!🔥🔥
I did a science fair project about this when I was in 5th grade. Friends and their parents thought it was nonsense. I do this everytime I get ant beds, which happens every damn time it rains in the South...
I used grits! I’d scatter the ant hill. Then pour the grits… they take it back to Queen who is the one that feeds. Grits caused her to explode and kills the mound. Course, they just move.
I’m going to use grits AND this videos solution. I like that grits won’t poison other wild animals or my pets. (Is it pathetic that I feel guilty for making the ants kill each other? 😂)
Thanks for posting this, l live in the southeast and used this method very effectively for years! I liked to use two shovels and a helper, then we would shovel down deep at the same time and quickly switch the little murderous stingers! Once l had to repeat but not any more. Go deep, switch quickly and those holding shovel won't get stung and the next day there is a huge difference! Join me in smiling as you pass the ant killer bags in the store! Yeah!!! Thanks again!
@@noenmichaelgonzalezrodrigu1672 that's a problem but if there isn't a problem there good for your plants they dig around the roots and supply them with oxygen those sound like leafcutters they will travel in large trails to get leaves to feed a fungus garden they grow and eat try using a natural deterrent they probably weren't nesting there try drying some citrus fruit peels like oranges or lemons
Makes perfect sense to me. I found that nature has many ways of dealing with problems and we just have lost the knowledge but thanks for finding this method and sharing.
Thats what I say...seems controlling interest makes more money off us going to the store to get their product so even if they know what works they won't tell us cause they won't us buying their man made poison...thanks for the comment and the support it gives the channel....grow grow grow
Should do the trick..if the are stubborn look for a few different ant piles and mix them up, I dont think it actually kills the ants just makes them leave the area
HahHH I dont watch it much at all lol.....too busy...and the only time I have to watch anything its TH-cam..cause the kids take the tv that we have lol
Clearly you are from the South! Love this! It cracks me up how gardeners in more northern climates say-leave the ants alone. Clearly, they do not have the 🔥 🐜. No one can just leave fire ants alone because they attack!!!💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you! I am starting garden beds in my back yard this spring and we always have fire ant problems. I have been worrying about what to do when they find their way to my garden bed and this I will definitely try instead of worrying over chemicals etc!
unless your in south America good idea most ants are good for gardens they give the roots oxygen and kill some common garden pest like grasshoppers and caterpillars whats your home town so i can tell you what and not to kill
No chemical mess on my food! Here I learned something new again, thank you so very much. Kind regards from Belgium. I wish you and your family all the best.
Thanks for this useful information. I’ve been dealing with fire ants for years now, but can never find any ant mounds. If I ever do though, it’s going to be game on!
I have an ant pile in my blackberry container! I have disturbed the pile multiple times and they won't leave. I have used cinnamon, ginger, and DE! I'm definitely going to try this!!!
They'll be gone in a week.......after a few days check them and if u have to add a little more to them top them off with another colony that'll finish off the last stragglers
Thanks for this information there will be an ant war in my garden bed tomorrow. BTW I got a free raised garden bed from the glass company in my town too.
Wow! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. This is so incredibly smart! I never would have guessed that there could be such a simple answer to this problem. No poisons! Yay! Thank you again!
This is absolutely insane! I love it! My mom has serious anthills throughout her yard. Look out suckers! Thank you so much. I love solutions like this.
I had a huge issue with ants last year and I found out why....the ants protect aphids! Then I noticed a had a lot of aphids! it was crazy but this is a great technique....never would have thought to put more ants on top of the ants. Thank you for the video.
I found out the hard way. The ants were feeding off of the aphids. I got some free ladybugs and released them on a honeydew plant that was infested with aphids. the ants devoured them. I was like NOOOOOOOOoO! lol
@@chandrawhite7904 yes unfortunately. The aphids produce a sweet nectar for the ants. Which the ants then protect the aphids. It took secods for the ants to rip apart the ladybugs
Thanks! I learned something. Also, I really like that you used real music in the background--much more aesthetically pleasing than the typical vaguely music-like computer generated drivel that infects far too many TH-cam videos!
WoW !! Who would have known ???? I have been using borax and sugar mix sprinkled on the mound and they are dead and gone. This also works ! Thanks for the tip.
Brilliant! I am desperate for any advice on how to deal with ants in my compost and my beds. I usually disturb the beds over and over again until they leave, but this is less work. Thanks for sharing!
This worked so good I’m pinching myself! Ants are a big problem here so I’ll make them have a visiting marathon all over my property!! Hey praise God , Thank You!

Hahahhaa hopefully....remember what I said at the end I had to double this one up cause they ran the first ones off, but at any rate you'll know in about a weeks time ur results
This is Brilliant. I've struggled with ants in my container garden for so long, I Refuse to use Anything but natural & herbal solutions. Thank you for sharing this info. 👍🤗

@@kathykapsner3897 just people ...i say if u don't like a video click on the next one...but hey people will be people....thanks for ur comment tho they are really appreciated more than you know:)
Smart! I live in the Southwest where it's all desert we have mounds and mounds of ants,, everywhere we walk there are ants. I will try your trick. Thank you.
Kinda how it is n both just leave the battle field one to save their queen cause that's all that matters and the other to get back to their queen because she's all that matters
Just be careful that the species isn't capable of merging colonies and containing multiple queens (ie: AntsCanada's Golden Empire). Otherwise, you'd just get a much bigger colony.
I knew this! The question is why didn't I ever do it. Just makes sense. I believe I wanted instant results instead of days. Let nature due its thing, time wins in the end.
Man's way and natures way is like east from west sometimes......Its like sitting outside every day, watching nature everyday then one day after a year of trails ...bam.....the epiphany comes...hahahah
Ants running off ants....What a world.... Thanks for the comment and the support your viewing time gives the channel as we try to grow our subscxriber base...:) thanks
Love you Brother !!!!! I was just wondering how the heck I’m gonna get these inside of my raised bed. I just happen to run into your video. Love the concept peace to you brother and God bless. You found yourself a new subscriber.
Thanks for the positive comment and the support, its comments like this that keep us posting even when we may not feel the energy to do so...thanks again brother
Bruh!! I'm giving this a try. I had the worst sweet potato crops I've had in 10 years. And the few I did have, had been attacked by ants. Not all, but the majority of them. Right now, cool weather has them, deep down. But, I'm giving this a try. ASAP. Thanks for sharing. Peace

“I just went to the bathroom…..”
Anti-social 😂
Yeah cause I was somewhere sleep
🤣🤣😩🤣🤣
Of all the videos you've made, this is the one that's helped me the most since I first saw it. Just moved an anthill on top of another one again. Wanted to come back and leave a comment haha.

Those ant holes I use dish soap and a pot of hot water and pour it in the hole and works great !! I covered up about 6 of them last year in my new home
Outside?
I asked someone else about the effects of boiling water on plant roots???
You are awesome!! Fire Ants are horrible here. I am going to be doing this. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for the nice comment my dear.....just you taking time out to leave a comment when you couldve went on to the next video is something we're grateful for..... Let us kno if you ever try it n what u experience watching them run each other off....Grow grow grow
Love the background music! Will try this in my garden this summer-my soil looks just like yours-sandy!
Awww thanks been getting some nasty comments on the music hahaha glad for ur comment ...i thought it was soothing lol...thanks for the comment and yhe support
Nasty comments aren’t ever necessary-in my opinion😍
@@kathykapsner3897 just people ...i say if u don't like a video click on the next one...but hey people will be people....thanks for ur comment tho they are really appreciated more than you know:)
I learn new things everyday even at 69 years old. Thank God and people like you who have experimented and tested and used the idea.
Grow Grow Grow
Great info brother. We are going to give it a shot this year. Game of Thrones on the raised beds!
You saw them battling hahahaha....
I wonder if you did humans this way, would they react the same?
It's like two dimensions merging lol
Can’t wait to try this! I am new to North Florida and feel like I am overrun in my vegetable garden with ants!
This is brilliant!! Thanks so much for the info.
Smart gardener! It’s all about doing things smarter not harder 👨🌾
Smarter not harder is the way lol
Thank you for encouraging gardening TH-camrs such as myself, especially new ones.
Smart! I live in the Southwest where it's all desert we have mounds and mounds of ants,, everywhere we walk there are ants. I will try your trick. Thank you.
Please let us know if it works in your area on your ants...thanks for the comment
Wow, blown away, trying it asap. My yard and tiny garden is full of them. Beautiful garden by the way.
Makes total sense that one colony would defend itself against the other and they BOTH lose!
Kinda how it is n both just leave the battle field one to save their queen cause that's all that matters and the other to get back to their queen because she's all that matters
I wish I could give you 100 thumbs up. What an amazing idea. I have watched so many videos.
Just be careful that the species isn't capable of merging colonies and containing multiple queens (ie: AntsCanada's Golden Empire). Otherwise, you'd just get a much bigger colony.
Good information:)
I have found the same thing. Being in red ant capital Tangi parish.
I too do not use any commercial chemicals.
Keep grow grow growing.
I knew this! The question is why didn't I ever do it. Just makes sense. I believe I wanted instant results instead of days. Let nature due its thing, time wins in the end.
Lol.....love the comment...im like you...some stuff ik works I go about looking for other ways then it's like he I know how to do this...lol
This is absolutely genius! You are amazing! Subscribed. I'm doing this on my next day off. I have at least 4 mounds!
Thanks, I have a huge ant pile in my garden ♥
💞time to get them out the garden
I hadn't heard of that method before. It does seem counter productive to put more ants in, but it also makes sense. Thank you for the info..
Man's way and natures way is like east from west sometimes......Its like sitting outside every day, watching nature everyday then one day after a year of trails ...bam.....the epiphany comes...hahahah
Wow! What a concept! I'm definitely going to give this a try :) :)
Ants running off ants....What a world.... Thanks for the comment and the support your viewing time gives the channel as we try to grow our subscxriber base...:) thanks
Love you Brother !!!!! I was just wondering how the heck I’m gonna get these inside of my raised bed. I just happen to run into your video. Love the concept peace to you brother and God bless. You found yourself a new subscriber.
Bless you, Brother! That is great information and very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for the positive comment and the support, its comments like this that keep us posting even when we may not feel the energy to do so...thanks again brother
That is the coolest thing! Thank you, i love doing things chemical free near my garden
cool now i wont miss GOT so much!!! i can watch ants devour each other for the throne
Hahahaha funny....theyll just run each other off and both leave lol
Bruh!! I'm giving this a try. I had the worst sweet potato crops I've had in 10 years. And the few I did have, had been attacked by ants. Not all, but the majority of them. Right now, cool weather has them, deep down. But, I'm giving this a try. ASAP. Thanks for sharing. Peace
Best wishes ❤
