In this episode, Ken Lain The Mountain Gardener, shares how to keep tiny black ants out of your kitchen and home. We've entered monsoon season and with the increase in moisture, you may notice an increased presence of tiny black ants. Learn some great tips in this episode listen in to learn how to make those ants disappear forever!
The speaker begins by highlighting the current rainy season and its influence on both plants and pests, specifically mentioning the increased presence of tiny black ants. Before delving into ant control, the discussion shifts to two featured plants ideal for summer planting: milkweed (Asclepias), a pollinator plant beloved by butterflies and suitable for containers, and Millennium Ornamental Onions (Alliums), which are drought-hardy, deer-resistant, and visually appealing. The core of the segment then focuses on combating the elusive tiny black ants, noting their difficulty to locate due to their hidden nests. While direct sprays kill visible ants, the most effective solution for an entire colony, particularly with hard-to-find nests, is Turf Ranger, a granular product activated by water that permeates the soil to eliminate nests and is highly effective against a variety of pests.
