Matanuska Thunder Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) This is a great site with heaps of organic pest control idea'shttp://www.annettemcfarlane.com/Doityourself.htmI have a black ant problem and have been using her chilli oil idea -mix chill oil with dish soap and a few drops of pure peppermint extract - I use as a preventative measure (it's cheap, organic and effective) it's a poor person's eco oil. it's less expensive to buy a package of chill flakes (verses fresh) put chill flakes into glass jar, fill jar with oil to cover chillie's , the longer it sits the hotter the oil gets don't use this as a spray on flowering plants tho it can be used to flush/water containers well into flower edit: more infoedit: again and again Edited January 21, 2015 by Matanuska Thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.S.D Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 It's not natural but it works White ants = ammonia to rid them , place it on the ground black plastic then your pot plant . Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
