My channel focuses on sharing my personal journey in growing our garden, farm and food forest to achieve a sustainable lifestyle. I have a passion for growing organic food and living off the land. I share monthly garden and food forest tours, recipes, and gardening tips. Please like, share and subscribe if you would like to watch my farm and garden grow through each season. Hopefully you will learn something along the way! I'm not an expert so if you think of something I could be doing better please share so I can become a better gardener:) My goal is to inspire you to get outdoors and enjoy some Southern Dirt and Sunshine!

I got cheap salt and pepper shakers at the dollar store, poured the solution in, put the lid on and placed them throughout my garden and flower beds. Worked great!

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

AWESOME! I'm so glad it worked for you!

[@linebreaker8751]

What if I use detergent instead of borax?

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I'm not sure. This is a recipe that my mom used and it works for her♥️

[@crittersforever]

Does it harm wildlife?

[@vezina808]

I tried your concoction and the ants are not going for the bait. I think they’re protein ants

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I'm sorry this isn't working for you. I've never heard of ants that like protein. This is what we use for all ants on our property and around our home. Here are some other techniques you can try. They have not worked for me but they may work for you. Poor boiling water over the ant pile. Sprinkle grits or try cinnamon around the pile. They may work for your protein ants.... Good luck!!

[@nancyinthegarden3160]

ants belong outside

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Yes!!!! This is the time of year they like to come inside. I hope my mix helps you

[@micco6020]

Does this work on fire ants?

[@eliza9822]

Will mosquitoes breed in them, or does it also kill mosquitoes?

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Im not sure. I just keep it out for a few days and then the ants are gone.
