How to get rid of ants in soil?

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by phyer, Aug 19, 2012.

  1. I pulled my 1 male out of 4 a few days ago and found its root system infested with hundreds of ants. Im assuming its the same with my other 3 as the lower leaves are yellowing and falling off. How do I get rid of ants when they are inside the soil?

    Thanks for all help
     
  2. Spinosad drench a bacteria not poison
    Amdro best but I don't know about the poison aspects.
    Bengal dust/ powder, dimectin (spelling ?) ends in tin because it is related to Ivermectin another bacteria not poison but more harsh than spinosad and very good but don't put on buds.
    Diotomacious Earth kills all bugs but takes time.

  3. Insecticidual Soap will kill them. You can pick up a bottle of it at Home Depot, Lowes, or Walmart for 3-5 bucks. You can spray directly on your plants as well works for a whole slew of bugs. Non toxic to any plant and to yourself. All it does is dehyradate the shells of insects so they rapidly dehydrate and die.
     
  4. Thanks good looks on the help.
