KateB Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I keep getting ants in my tubs, containers and pots - any ideas how to get rid of them and stop them returning? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think ants prefer dry soil - not sure - but if the pots are well watered that may help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymama Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Chopped up tights in the bottom! And yes, they do like it dry, our compost heaps around here have to be watered, or they become infested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
