garden, with this the aphids and ants will disappear from the plants immediately"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When aphids and ants arrive in the garden, we have different options available to manage them, it&#8217;s up to us to understand how to block their progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ants should be removed from the garden as they can also interfere with competition for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vegetable garden and ants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the garden, ants can be considered both&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a resource and a threat depending on the circumstances.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the one hand, ants can be useful in the garden because they help maintain cleanliness by removing the remains of dead plants and insects, keeping the garden clean and tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28161\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/formiche-nell-orto.jpg\" alt=\"Ants in the garden\" class=\"wp-image-28161\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Some species of ants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;can control other insect pests such as aphids, bacteria and slugs, protecting plants from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, ants can improve soil structure by creating tunnels that help improve air circulation and access to plant roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what happens if instead of favoring the plant,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>they come into conflict with it<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and, together with aphids, harm its health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, we may find ourselves faced with the need to eliminate them because ants can compete with plants for food, feeding on&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the sugary secretions<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;produced by plant roots or flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28164\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/formiche-e-afidi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28164\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>ants can harvest seeds and seedlings and carry them away from the garden<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, preventing germination and plant growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to mention the damage that ants can cause to plant roots, creating galleries and causing plant death.&nbsp;Ants can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>protect and feed pests such as aphids<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and ladybugs, allowing them to thrive and cause further damage to plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid damage to garden plants, it is important to maintain good ant control, for example with the use of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>physical barriers<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or specific insecticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although you can also purchase commercial insecticide products to kill ants, keep in mind that they can also harm other beneficial life forms in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to nature, using natural substances is the best choice.&nbsp;In fact, natural materials such as talcum powder or cornmeal can be used to repel ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also plant repellent herbs like&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>mint or garlic around your garden<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28162\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/orto-curato.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28162\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical barriers can also help keep them away from our lettuce.&nbsp;We can create a barrier around plants using a non-permeable material, such as beeswax or silicone, to prevent ants from reaching our plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>create an attractive area<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;for ants away from your plants, so they can feed there rather than in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially during the summer months, ants can multiply around plants and thus interfere with their normal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if there are aphids and ants, a completely natural remedy that will keep ants away from our garden is cornmeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28163\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/chiodi-di-garofano-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28163\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will need to sprinkle the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>cornmeal around the plants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, the ants will take it to their anthill and eat it but will not be able to digest it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, cornmeal is not dangerous for children or pets, and ants don&#8217;t like spices, such as cloves&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;cinnamon, chili powder, and ground coffee.<br>Simply place them around the plant and it will prevent ants from approaching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When aphids and ants arrive in the
