Let them battle it out. A few weeks ago I found all these dead ants on a pathway . the only thing I could conclude was they went to war as I dontnuse any pesticides on my property except for a barrier against my house and that was just one time because I saw cockroaches in my yard and didn't want them making it into my home. They never did. I also used baking soda around the perimeters of my home too.

@@jonasdubaere59 That's true about ants actually using their antenna to milk the aphids "honeydew" for food. At the end of the season ants actually take the aphids down into their nests where they have stored the Honeydew so they can all survive the winter. In the spring they all come out, have a party and then repeat the process.😩 I have yet to hear or read about a useful purpose for ants in your garden except that they till the soil. But I think they do more damage than good. Now, I'm pretty sure that's not a good idea to piss directly on the plant.

@@jamclibusmar About 2 tablespoons of cinnamon is enough, no matter how much wood ash you use, no need to mix. I normally put them both in a bowl, sprinkling the cinnamon over the ashes. Make sure you cover the ant pile completely with a thin layer, you don't have to disturb initially, wait a few daytime hours and disturb the pile. If you still have ants make sure your ashes and cinnamon are back on top and disturb the pile again in a day or so.

Thank a lot . I saw fire ants in back yard and they are climbing on my cucumber vines .

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

thats bold......send them packing..lol

[@brayjoyevans1564]

We moved from Mi to Louisiana a number of years ago. the lawn was loaded with red fire ant piles. My husband tried to get rid of them (with every method the hardware store had, to no avail. I researched and found this shoveling method. Lo and behold it worked. It was a lot of work to shovel ants on a 5 acre lawn that had been uninhabited for nearly a year, but we did the work. Now no fire ants. This method is the only one I know that will exterminate the red fire ants.

You are amazing! This video is great can’t wait to try it! “Mano y Mano” love it

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

gonna be epic when you see the showdown..lol

[@Chris-op7yt]

ants love to build nests in dead organic matter, which they can excavate to stay relatively dry to their liking.

[@corporealchaosconsulting78]

Bruh this is genius. I'm mad I ain't think of this. Good shit.

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

thanks for watching

[@TommyFamous]

Smart gardener! It’s all about doing things smarter not harder 👨‍🌾

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Smarter not harder is the way lol

[@Kalina1982]

This is the most brilliant solution! Thank you for sharing with us 🤗

[@ralucadudescu]

The ants probably consider that they were attacked :) That is a good solution. Thank you.

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

I think so ....i guess they say hey it's infinite land out there why fight over this piece....

[@ralucadudescu]

@@GrowFamilyNetwork Ants are smarter then humans!

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

I keep learning from you Brother! Thanks for sharing.

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Ant don't play.....lol

[@PatricesProjects]

I hadn't heard of that method before. It does seem counter productive to put more ants in, but it also makes sense. Thank you for the info..

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Man's way and natures way is like east from west sometimes......Its like sitting outside every day, watching nature everyday then one day after a year of trails ...bam.....the epiphany comes...hahahah

[@returninghome7685]

My little girl taught me that it does work she said it has something to do with the smell each ant pile has its own smell

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Hmmmm never got down to the scienceof it

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

I could see that...on an level

[@caralama08]

Louisiana Gardening Family pheromones, they give off their own pheromones as each group are related through dna 🧬 as the queen 👑 ant 🐜 births the colony, so each colony will have a different dna profile and pheromone/scent, that’s how they communicate with each other. I love ants but can understand why you don’t want them all over your veggies 🌽. ❤️🦋🙏

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

@@caralama08 I would hope they would just all leave and go somewhere else because of the invaders...i don't think they really kill Eachother out but I do think they fight a little then all move on....not sure though...cause I never see dead ant bodies after they're gone

[@bradleyneel9086]

Nice garden hack. Using competing mounds to threaten each others queens. You sir are the chess player of gardening. Good info.

[@vahlla78]

Ant Wars! There are some huge fire ant piles at our house in the country that have taken up residency. Next time I'm there imma make Ant Waaars!

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Game on lol

[@abigail7162]

I was not expecting to be so entertained when I clicked on this video, you are hilarious

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Hahaha....fight it out...it must be the thumbnail lol....so bland

[@conservativetothecor]

I remember doing this as a child with different sized ants...never thought of this

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Ants fights a childhood game lol

[@killagorilla8635]

I tought all ants know eachother and don't discriminate 😂😂😂😂

[@rose5150fl]

Live action ant wars going on there. Great idea.. I wouldn't have ever guessed it. Tysm 😀

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Hahahahha I captured the battle lol

[@Wiz101Geek]

This is amazing. It is like ground hog day at our house with ants. Going to try it tomorrow

[@MorganBrown]

Best video of the week. I can’t think of a more fitting end to a pile of fire ants 🐜 💀

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Hahahahha you got me laughing lol.....let the Wars begin

[@desertodavid]

Fire ants?!! I don't know... they some bad ass dudes. I've encountered many of them in North Carolina found out exactly why they call them fire ants. When they bite you it feels like they're burning you with a match! Benadryl or an antihistamine works wonders. If the ant Wars don't work and they survive, use Amdro. It's the only thing I found that works. 👌
