Håber i kan hjælpe mig fokes!

Jeg har ingen personlige erfaringer omkring dit spørgsmål, men måske det her kan hjælpe hvis du forstår engelsk:

" Ask Ed "...by Ed Rosenthal


The ants are making nests in the planting medium of the containers. This messes with the roots. they are aphid ranchers. Aphids suck the juices of the plants and concentrate the sugars in a "honeydew". the ants squeeze the aphids to harvest the honeydew. Ants protect aphids from predation by other creatures. Aphids harm plants in three ways: they suck vital juices from the plant, their "honeydew" promotes infections, and they are often vectors for desease, spreading bacterial and viral infections. Although it may seem as if the ants are everywhere, once you follow the trails, you will probably find that the ants are only colonizing a few containers or a few holes in the garden. The ants must be eliminated. there are many ways to do this without using poisons. Mixes of sugar, boric acid and diatomacious earth can be placed in the ant' path. the substances coat the ants' exoskeleton and puncture it so the creatures dehydrate. A sticky barrier can be placed on the stems of the plants so that ants cannot climb up. Nurseries selll Tanlefoot(r) made for this purpose. Ant colonies are exterminated professionally using a solution of pyrethrum poured into their holes. Ant bait is also very effective. Cinnamon is by far the most effective and killer/repellent. It is both repugnant and fatal to ants. As you sprinkle it or water into the soil, you will see the ants scurrying out of their nests. With a spoon, sprinkle ground cinnamon, the regular spice type that you can purchase at the grocery store, on the top of the planting medium. Then make a drench using 2 rounded tablespoons of grounded cinnamon per gallon of hot water. Let the water cool to room temperature then add a liquid pyrethrum insecticide into the solution as directed. A surfactant such as coco-wet(r) will make the solution more effective. Use the solution as a drench. Beneficial nemotodes should be added to the medium. These microscopic creatures atttck various insects including ants and help prevent their return. To keep the ants out, the perimeter should be lined with a inch-wide barrier of diatomaceous earth and cinnamon powder. If the ants have encouraged an aphid infestation, be sure to treat for aphids once the ants have been eliminated.
