Hi ya'll! I have a problems with ants. I don't think they are the type that bite but they have taken up residence in the whiskey barrel planter that I used to grow chilli peppers this summer. I wondered why the peppers did not have a good yeild. When I went to pull the old ones out, millions of black/reddish ants. I tried pouring boiling water on it it and they are still there . I would like to put a few edible plants in for the winter so a chemical solution is out. Any thoughts ?
Buy yourself some Diatomaceous Earth,near here Lowe's sells it, or check your local feed store. It is a totally organic solution for ants and many other insects!
