hi I'm George Mumford from Plant advice
doctor at UK I'm a fully trained
horticulturalist and the self-employed
gardener today I'm going to show you how
to grow various plants in your garden
and how to propagate them today I'm
going to show you how to get rid of ants
in the garden and so mainly a problem in
gardens during the summer months when
the soil is warm black ants are the most
troublesome then this can contain
between 4000 and 7000 ants here I've got
an ant's nest in my garden ants
excavated the soil to build their
underground nests and leave little piles
of soil or quite big in this case saw it
on the lawn a plant advice doc Cody at
UK we like to promote organic methods
ahead of chemical treatments ants can be
dealt with organically there's no need
to kill them here you see I've used an
upturned port what I did was I put the
upturn pot over the ants nest the pot
then soaks up the Sun making the ants
nests much warmer and the ants bring
their cocoons and the nest right up to
the above the soil surface what I can
then do is to shovel up the nest and
take it away out of my garden somewhere
else for the ants to live finally if the
app if the problem with the ants is in
the lawn you can also let the grass grow
a lot longer what happens there is the
temperature of the lawn will drop
because the Sun is not able to penetrate
the surface of the lawn as much and
therefore that makes that less desirable
for the amps which are much happier
building their nest on shorter grass and
that's how you get rid of ants in the
garden
you
