Methods to eliminate ants on potted plants:
Application of decomposed fertilizer: when applying base fertilizer or organic fertilizer, fully fermented and decomposed organic fertilizer must be used instead of raw or semi mature fertilizer to avoid ants' feeding.
Cleaning the leaf surface: the residual excreta of flies, moths, aphids, mites and other insects on the leaf surface are easy to lure ants to hunt for food, so it is necessary to spray the leaf surface with clean water frequently to keep it clean.
Immersion and disinfestation: slowly put the potted flowers harmed by ants into a bucket filled with water to soak the bell. Ants can't stand flooding and will crawl out of the soil. At this time, ants floating on the water and climbing on the stems and leaves of potted flowers can be eliminated.
Garlic anthelmintic: Peel and mash the garlic, and bury these fragments into the pot soil. Ants will escape by themselves if they cannot withstand the garlic gas.
Disinfection of basin soil: Use formalin, zinc daisen powder, carbendazim powder and other agents to sterilize the basin soil before putting on or turning over the basin to kill termites, ants and their eggs in the basin soil.
Turn over the basin to remove: For plants that have nested at the root, the most effective way is to turn over the basin in the pool to eliminate all ants. Then clean the root of the plant and plant potted flowers with new sterilized soil.
