A popular remedy among the people is semolina. But the disadvantage of this is that it only works in dry weather.

On wet ground, the semolina swells before it reaches the ant's stomach, and is therefore not effective.

Therefore, the best the remedy for individuals that live on the surface and hide underground is ammonia.

Boiling water and baits kill only those pests that live on the surface.

How to prepare

The rubbing alcohol should be mixed with water in a ratio of 1 to 100. The finished solution is poured into a watering can and the ant colonies are already watered from it.

Thanks to the fact that the solution penetrates deep into the soil, because of the sharp smell, the ants leave, but not the fact that they can settle in another part of the plot or garden.

This applies to any method of fighting ants.
