Get Rid Of Ants In Your Pots
Q: I have ants in the pots I want to plant tomatoes in. Do have to totally replace the soil? Is there a natural deterrent?
A: An easy way to eliminate ants is to dump the soil into a black plastic bag, seal it, and put it in the sunshine. After just a day or two it will get so hot inside that the ants will all be dead.
