Ants in the garden are a common problem for gardeners. After all, they can harm the harvest of vegetables and fruits.
How to get rid of ants in the garden
Experienced gardeners note that ants react sharply to bright odors.
Therefore, plant plants with a strong smell in your garden. The scent of lavender, wormwood, parsley, garlic, tomato leaves, ground cinnamon, turpentine, charcoal, vegetable oil, tobacco ash, elderberry, wild mint, and citrus fruits are good for repelling ants.
Celandine, tansy, calendula, mustard and valerian also have a strong odor.
