Why are anthills dangerous?
The ants themselves are not dangerous to humans, they do not carry diseases, but they like to build their homes next to cultivated plants. Everyone knows that these insects have a special weakness for sweets. It happens that spilled sugar can lure a colony of ants into the house. That’s why their homes are so often found under apple, cherry, and strawberry trees. Each fallen fruit contributes to the growth of the colony.
But that’s not all - ants and aphids are truly “best friends.” They spread this insect and hide it for the winter. And all because aphids secrete a sticky substance, which, again, is sweet. And aphids are already causing more significant damage to cultivated plants.
Why else would you need to know a way to get rid of ants? The fact is that ants, while building their tunnels and homes, store various seeds of weeds and cultivated plants, which contributes to the appearance of excess grass on the site.

Another harm from ants is that their tunnels damage the root system, especially young seedlings, which leads to their death.
There is a lot to talk about, but it's time to move on to action. Let's see how to get rid of ants in the garden forever using folk remedies.

In the summer, when I arrived at the dacha, I was horrified! My kitchen, siphon, ventilation - literally everything was swarming with cockroaches! I tried everything: different aerosols, and crayons... The effect was temporary. After reading the reviews, I decided to try Super Fas. I was skeptical, but still diluted the powder in water. I thoroughly sprayed it on all the furniture in the kitchen, baseboards and cracks. I paid a lot of attention to ventilation. The result was noticeable already on the second day, when I found dead cockroaches. I carried out the pest control again a month later to consolidate the results. It's been 3 months and they haven't returned.

We have suffered from cockroaches for many years. We live on the first floor, and there is a basement below. Dampness and humidity are the favorite place of these parasites. We tried Super Fas, it took about 2 packs for our house. Having processed everything thoroughly, we waited for the results. Literally 2 days later we noticed dead cockroaches in the cracks near the baseboards, and a week later we completely forgot about the problem.
Oleg
Super Fas was recommended to me by friends who quickly dealt with cockroaches. From them I learned how to dissolve the powder and treat surfaces. Having bought the drug, I didn’t even look at the instructions. I processed everything myself, but after a while I felt an unpleasant pain in my stomach and felt nauseous. I quickly came out into the air, and after about an hour it was all gone. As it turned out, I did not take care of my safety. So I got poisoned. The product did an excellent job of getting rid of cockroaches! Therefore, you must not neglect the instructions and read them.
Mechanism of action
The active components of the insecticide penetrate the body of pests through contact and airborne droplets. In the first case, the cockroach, crossing the place where the composition is sprayed, comes into contact with it with its paws. The particles remaining on them enter the digestive system along with food and water.
The effectiveness of the drug is significantly increased by the fact that, being on the limbs of the pest, the active components penetrate the respiratory system and are absorbed through the chitinous cover. Thanks to this, the individuals hiding there become infected inside the nest.
As a result of using the drug Super FAS, toxins that get inside the insect begin to affect the functioning of neurons. Blockage of muscle impulses as intoxication develops causes complete paralysis and death.
Features of preparing the solution
FAS powders and tablets belong to the category of highly toxic compounds. You need to work with it in protective equipment (long sleeves, gloves, goggles and a respirator).
To prepare the solution you will need a mixing container and a spray bottle. To shorten the period of contact with the insecticide, the powder and water can be immediately mixed in a sprayer.
The mixing proportions recommended by the manufacturer are 1 part of the drug to 20 parts of water. It is prohibited to increase the concentration. To prepare the solution, you need to use warm water (cold liquid reduces the effectiveness of the finished composition).

How to protect yourself from future attacks?
To prevent hordes of ants from spoiling plants in the future, preventive measures should be taken. This will eliminate the need to fight these harmful insects in the future.
Before replanting peonies into new soil, you must first add ash to the soil. It will be an excellent fertilizer and will help protect flowers from ant invasion. Near them you can plant plants whose smell will repel insects. For example, anise, garlic and other similar plants.
Beautifully flowering plants in a garden plot are always pleasing to the eye, but the presence of pests spoils the whole picture. Therefore, you need to protect flowers from insects if they are not beneficial. Getting rid of ants on peonies is not difficult if you use the right methods and means. It is best to use chemical products to a minimum. The most effective way to prevent the spread of pests is to periodically carry out preventive measures (checking flowers for insects and planting plants whose scent ants do not like).
