Answer 1

Make your own safe organic bug pesiticide:

One tablespoon of Garlic powder per pint of water. Finer garlic powder is best since it disolves the best. Put into a spray bottle shake for several minutes and then spray leaves (add a drop of dish soap per pint will help the garlic adhere to the leaves and stay longer). After watering or a heavy rain apply more. If spray mechanism gets clogged consider putting a tiny piece of nylon (from old stockings) material over spray bottle straw as a strainer to keep out garlic powder. Tapping bottle bottom will also help to free any clogs but the nylon or screen material works best. Attach material with a small rubber band. Very effective because the chemicals in garlic are hated by all bugs.

Answer 2

Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her.
