1. There are ants in the potted plants, how to drive them away?

If you use pesticides (DDV, malathion, etc.) to fill pots, it will cause phytotoxicity and damage the plants.

The simplest way is to "drowned the whole army" - fill a large bucket with water, submerge the flower pot in the water for half an hour to drown all the ants (kill those that climb onto the plant). After half an hour, drain the water from the flower pot and move the flower pot to a sunny location.

Explanation: ① Soaking the roots of potted flowers for about an hour will not affect the potted plants. Afterwards, drain the water in time and place them in a sunny place to evaporate the excess water.

2. There are many ants in the flower pots. How to eradicate them!!??

When growing flowers at home, the main pests are aphids, red spiders, scale insects, ants and grubs in the soil. Because general chemical pesticides are highly toxic, they can easily pollute the environment and cause harm to the human body. It is best to catch them manually. You can also make your own pollution-free flower pesticides for spraying, such as adding a small amount of laundry detergent to mashed garlic juice and diluting it 50 times; or adding 25 times water to tobacco, soaking it for 48 hours, taking the filtrate and adding an appropriate amount of laundry detergent, or using wind oil and 500 times water, etc., which have obvious poisoning effects on general pests.

Snails - The shell is slightly thick, shiny, and long oval. The shell is 130mm high and 54mm wide. It has 6.5-8.0 whorls, and the spiral part is conical. The body whorl is swollen. It is usually killed by (1) manual capture; (2) 1-2 cotton swabs with dichlorvos can be inserted into the pot soil, and then covered with a plastic bag. After fumigation for 2 hours, it can be removed.

Red spider mites - small, red in color, not easily visible to the naked eye. They like to suck sap from the back of leaves. The leaves turn yellow and develop many small white spots after being attacked, and soon turn yellow and fall off. They often breed in high temperature and low humidity environments. Commonly used sprays include (1) 40% dimethoate emulsion 1000 times diluted; (2) 80% dichlorvos 1000-1500 times diluted.

Scale insects - The insect body is orange-red, with black hair and white wax on the back. Some of them stick to the branches of flowers and trees, and some lie in the middle of the veins on the front or back of the leaves. After sucking the juice, the leaves turn yellow and fall off, and the branches become shrunken. Some also stick to the branches and fruit stalks of flowers and trees like cotton (because there are many types of scale insects, they are not listed one by one). Commonly used methods are (1) brushing gently with a soft brush, and then applying diluted dichlorvos; (2) using chlorpyrifos for prevention and control.

Ants - They are small, dark brown in color, and you should know what they look like. They can be killed by (1) inserting a cotton ball with dichlorvos into the hole at the bottom of the pot; or (2) immersing the pot in water.

Earthworms - The body is bilaterally symmetrical and segmented; it has no bones and is covered with a thin layer of pigmented cuticle. Commonly used methods include (1) a 500-fold dilution of cypermethrin to irrigate the potting soil; (2) a dilution of superphosphate to drive the earthworms out of the pot.

Aphids are small green-yellow insects of many species, most of which occur on the buds, tender stems, tender leaves or buds of flowers. Commonly used sprays are (1) 3000 times diluted 40% dimethoate emulsion; (2) 1000 times diluted 80% dichlorvos with water.

3. How can I get rid of ants in flower pots?

Killing insects and ants in flowerpots is the most difficult task. However, sometimes the pests cannot be eliminated, and the air in the greenhouse becomes stale, which damages the flowers and plants. In fact, there are many natural ways to eliminate pests.

1. Chop 200 grams of green onion and soak it in 10 liters of water for a day and night. After filtering, use it to spray the affected plants several times a day for 5 consecutive days.

2. Crush 200-300 grams of garlic to extract the juice, dilute it with 10 liters of water, and immediately use it to spray the plants.

3. Soak 400 grams of tobacco powder in 10 liters of water for two days and nights, filter out the tobacco powder, add 10 liters of water and 20-30 grams of soap powder when using, stir well and spray on the affected flowers and trees.

4. Add 10 liters of water and 3 kilograms of wood ash, soak for 3 days and nights, then spray the plants.

5. When small flying insects appear in the flowerpot, you can use three or four cotton swabs (cotton sticks), dip them in DDT (diluted to the point where it does not drip), and then insert the handle into the potting soil around the plant, and the flying insects will be eliminated.

6. Detergent: Dissolve one tablespoon of detergent in 4 liters of water, and spray it on the flowers and leaves every two weeks to completely eliminate termites and bacteria.

7. Milk: Mix 4 cups of flour and half a cup of milk into 20 liters of water, stir, filter with gauze and spray on the flowers and leaves, which can kill ticks and their eggs.

8. Beer: Pour beer into a shallow basin under the soil of the flower pot. The snails will be drowned when they crawl in.

9. Garlic: Crush a head of garlic and mix it with a tablespoon of pepper powder in half a liter of water. After an hour, spray it on the leaves and flowers to prevent rat attacks.

10. When ants appear in the flowerpot, soak cigarette butts and tobacco in hot water for one or two days. When the water turns dark brown, sprinkle some of the water on the flower stems and leaves, dilute the rest and pour it into the flowerpot, and the ants can be eliminated.
