The return of summer brings many positive aspects, but also some problems. Every homeowner knows perfectly well that the sun and heat also mean that they have to deal with insects that repopulate all indoor spaces. From May to September, it is easy to find mosquitoes, flies, bees, etc. in the rooms of your home. And that’s not all, because with sunny days, ants also reappear and run around the house in search of food and a suitable place for their colony. Ants, just like in the house, can easily invade the garden and for this reason many act to eliminate them.
Eliminate ants with this simple biological method: effectiveness is guaranteed
To get rid of ants, many rely on the various chemicals on the market, which usually work effectively. However, since they are chemical products, it is advisable to always rely on other solutions, i.e. organic. For example, to keep ants away from fruit trees, simply spray the affected area with wood ash.
Wood ash contains a number of particularly useful substances, such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. Each of these elements allows plants to grow strong and lush. In addition to this peculiarity, wood ash – which must be cold, editor’s note – can keep ants away if properly distributed around fruit trees. In this way, we create an insurmountable barrier for ants, who have no choice but to stay away. Once this is done, we can proceed to eliminate the ants through a very effective mixture. All we need is baking soda, some powdered sugar, and some water. Prendiamo una bottiglia di plastica e tagliamo il fondo, così da ricavare una sorta di contenitore. All internal mettiamo 5 cucchiaini di bicarbonate di sodium e 5 cucchiaini di zucchero a velo. Questi due elementi insieme sono l’ideale per combattere le formiche. Lo zucchero a velo, come noto, attira questi insetti, mentre il bicarbonato di sodium stermina il formicaio.
Con questo mix spariranno per sempre
Una volta aggiunti i cucchiaini di zucchero a velo e bicarbonato di sodium si va a creare un composto mischiando per bene. Infine si aggiunge un po’ d’acqua per ottenere una miscela ancora più efficace. Il contenitore con dentro questa soluzione va ora messo in giardino, a fianco al formicaio. Prima, però, è meglio fare qualche piccolo buco al fondo di bottiglia così da facilitare l’ingresso delle formiche.
Non appena il composto è diventato omogeneo si può procedere con il passaggio finale. Il contenitore con il mix viene messo a fianco al formicaio, in modo da attirare le formiche. The insects begin to penetrate the bottom of the bottle in a short time, reach the mixture and carry it to the anthill. In this way, the mixture we have created will be fatal to the Queen Mother.
