Red ants living in one red poison auto pots.
What to do?
Its ironic they are red ants and red poison is strain.
They live another pot but I harvest this plant and now what i see… They pouring out potholes and find another pot in greenhouse to live.
I can’t bomb them nutewater yet, bc here are very rainy days and pot are heavy.
But what i have to do? Some homemade remedy? Or isolate this plant? Thoughts?
I would separate it from the others behind they are in all your pots. Not sure how to get rid of them. The old guy @garrigan62 probably could help. Good luck

Ants have a hard exo skeleton body. Not sure that would help especially if it’s a colony… Need something to encourage them to leave

There is also Captain Jacks in the powder form. At least that’s gonna be my next attempt if the DE doesn’t work.

A top layer of cinnamon is supposed to also help drive ants away.

Maybe if I gave him one of those cut-outs of as you say I have of you, maybe they would work like a scear crow and scare them away … lmfao

Cinnamon worked for me last year. Quite amazing watching their exit.

You can do a layer of cayenne pepper under planter and a layer of cinnamon or cayenne as top dressing.
Diatom Earth will also work, scratches the exoskeleton and causes them to dehydrate. This is why it is so effective against fleas.
