Thank you! I have noticed more ants this year than ever. Never thought about the weather not helping and them growing in numbers faster.
I echo everyone’s noticing ants are more plentiful this year (southern NJ). And I just figured the heat was the reason for the die off of peas and my stunted potato plants. Turns out ants are tunneling through my potato roots and even the potatoes themselves. Thank you!!!
The tunneling causes lots of issues with the roots

Definitely works for ants AND other insects! I live in FL and we have all kinds. This works! 🙏💖
❤ thank you for sharing this info. i have never seen so many ants in all my life. 😡they are in the garden, pots, raised beds, all over my porch. climbing all over plants, trees. living inside of empty pots, piles of cardboard; bascially they are in/on Everthying on the ground. they even climb onto my tables and get into my pots and seedlings. i almost wanted to give up until ....BAM .... you posted the most helpful video. i will be giving this a try. thank you for your expertise and hard work. 😁
Btw.....i noticed they are really attracted to the plants that have aphids on them. trying to get rid of aphids with a soapy water mix. but that also seems like a losing battle.
It is a tough ant year but this can really help

ants "farm" aphids for the sugars they excrete, they protect the aphyds
Thank you so, so much for posting this video!!! I too live in Maryland and have similar soil to you and I also have these ant infestations all the time and I didn’t realize that they damaged my garden, but as time passes on, I definitely believe they do and I’ve been wanting to get rid of them safely! You have taught me so much, Gary! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us… I’ve become quite the fairly successful home gardener because of you!
Very glad to help and cheers to your success.

Thank you so much for sharing!! The ants are horrible in our garden this year. They have been farming aphids on our plants, and it's been a real problem for the melons and squash. Hoping your borax solution will work!
Living Traditions Homestead misted MILK from their cow onto their tomato plants and it quickly killed the Aphids. No smell. Quick solution.
Worked great! Had it a little to wet the first batch and just turned to syrup on the sun. 2nd try not to wet and kept it shaded.
Perfect

I agree with you with the ants. They are ridiculous down here in Savannah Georgia. I was using baby powder and it seemed to work but the last two mounds that I had I had to reapply the baby powder three times before they died off.
Being legally blind, I do not see the ant bed until they start biting on me. And they got me so bad that I had to go to the emergency room in order to get treated for it.
Crazy right. Oh no on the bites. That is terrible.

I normally do this in March and replace in June. I’m going to make some tomorrow. I do boric acid with sugar in a 2liter bottle
That works.

Im goint to try this on FIRE ants, which are very dangerous. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for the advice on getting rid of ants in the garden. I live in south central Nebraska and have been overrun with ants and rolypolys this year. I will be purchasing some borax. Thank you!!
Good luck.

Great video Gary. Thank you for the recipe and your time.
That’s what I have used and works well. I’ve used yogurt or cream cheese containers but I didn’t have a dog 😊
That works

I noticed that guano fertilizer has "called" more ants.
Super helpful for the garden colonies, what about in the compost bin?
Just drop a jar by the bin if it is problematic

thank you 🎉
My recipe - 1pt borax to 4pts jam. Or 1/2 catfood to 1/2 borax for meat ants. I glue the lids on the jars to stop other critters from having a snack
Nice!

I have Argentinian Ants. Invasive with no predators. It's thought that the whole US is one colony because a few from the same colony came to this area from Argentine. It's believed that one ant from San Diego will be recieved by ants in Louisiana because they all have the same genetics. They also seem to crave sweet, protein/fat, or mold at different times of the year. They are horrible. Terro just doesn't work on them except for very limited times of the year. I use plastic containers because I've got young kiddos.
Oh no.

Wow what an infestation. I wonder if that affected my corn and eggplant production.
They really can. Some just over work the soil and effect the roots

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thanks. I will try this suggestion.
new to gardening & ants are a huge problem in my garden 😳
I wonder if this will work for Japanese beetles.🤔
I use nematodes for less Japanese Beetles with my neighbors 2 years now and they have lessened A LOT. Arbico organics is a trusted company and I'm not a representative at all. I also have been told to sprinkle milky spore however I have yet to do this. Hope this helps!
Can I use this in Spring around Peonys?
Anywhere.

Does this method kill the queen?
The winged ants I saw once turned out to be termites. My garden bed mulch was too high up my home foundation and termites feasted up my wall siding.
Crazy.
