CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to kill ants in flower pots

Question 1: How to completely remove ants from the soil of flower pots? Home flower cultivation often causes ant damage. Ants not only affect the growth of flowers and trees, and even cause the death of flowers and trees, but also damage furniture and contaminate food, causing many troubles for flower growers. Here are some simple prevention and control methods:

1. If the number of flowers grown is small and ants are found early, the soil can be completely replaced immediately to completely eliminate the ants. The method is to completely replace the soil with ants and their eggs with fresh soil. The replaced soil must be thoroughly disinfected and can only be used after checking that there are no ant eggs. Before the flower pot is filled with new soil, it must be carefully cleaned and the replaced soil must be treated with insecticide in time. After the soil is replaced, the place where the flower pot is placed should be sprayed with insecticide or other insecticides.

2. Spraying method: If there are a large number of ants and their activity range is wide, during the peak period of ant activity in summer and autumn, you can use pesticides to spray the surface of the potting soil and around the flower pots. Be careful not to spray the liquid onto the leaves and flowers. Generally, spray once every 5 days. 5 consecutive sprays can control the damage caused by ants.

3. Planting method: If you find ants in the soil of the flower pot, you can bury an appropriate amount of veterinary dichlorvos tablets in the soil in and around the ant holes. Depending on the size of the flower pot, 5 to 8 tablets are appropriate. Then water it thoroughly every day. After 7 days, the ants in the pot can be killed.

4. The trapping method is to use a small piece of pig skin or chicken bone to trap and kill ants 20 cm away from the flower pot where the ants are found. Do not put any medicine in the trap. Generally, the skin or chicken bones will be discovered by the ants after 2-3 hours. In order to transport food, the ants will come out in full force. At this time, use a pest control agent to spray and kill them. Trapping and killing once every 10 days can gradually eliminate the ants.

Question 2: How to eliminate ants breeding in flower pots? Please refer to the following:

1. Spray tobacco leaves and lime water to kill ants: Soak 1 part tobacco leaves and 1 part quicklime in water and stir thoroughly. Filter after cooling to remove the slag and retain the liquid. Dilute the original liquid with 30 times water and spray it on the bottom of the pot and the soil in the pot.

2. Cigarette butts mosquito control method: Put a few cigarette butts in a cup of clean water, soak for 2 hours, filter out the residue, and pour the soaked liquid into the flower pots where ants come and go.

3. Killing aphids If there are ants in the flower pots, it may be due to aphids. Because aphids secrete substances that attract ants, it is necessary to kill aphids in time to eliminate the source of ant damage.

Question 3: How to get rid of ants in flower pots? First of all, I want to say that adding chili peppers and sprinkling salt are useless. I have tried them all.

Let me introduce you to a method that I use myself, which does not require any medicine or anything else.

It's actually very simple, just put the flower pot in a basin of water (put the pot on a cushion to prevent the flowers from getting soaked). Then continue to care for the flowers as usual.

Ants cannot cross the water. This can cut off the food source of the ants in the flowerpot and also cut off the passage between the ants and the outside world. If you persist for a few days, all the ants will starve to death~~~~

Question 4: How to get rid of ants in flower pots? I have tried many methods, such as spraying pesticides, soaking cigarette butts in water, sprinkling burnt egg shells, and sprinkling crushed mosquito coils. Sprinkling mosquito coils is more effective for newly discovered ants in flower pots, but mosquito coils are not effective for large and deep flower pots where ants have been nesting for a long time, and cannot completely eliminate the problem. My last resort is to repot the entire flower, but people with trypophobia should not do it themselves, because there are too many ants, too...

Question 5: There are small red ants in the flowerpot. How to get rid of them completely? Do ants bite people? The simplest way to completely get rid of ants is to use a good quality ant-killing medicine to kill them. Sprinkle it on the ground and the ants will disappear quickly. Except for this method, all other methods, including spraying insecticides, no matter how simple or complex, cannot completely eliminate them. At most, they can kill some ants on the surface, but those ants are called worker ants, which are dedicated to work. The reproduction speed of ants is super fast. There is a queen ant that keeps giving birth in the nest. A queen ant can give birth to 2-5 nests of ants per month, and each nest is 500-2000. With such a large fertility, what is the point of killing a few worker ants? We can hardly find an ant nest, and the queen ant never leaves the nest. Therefore, ordinary insecticides and other methods cannot kill the queen ant, so they are useless. This ant-killing bait is different. It first lures the worker ants to eat it. The worker ants taste it and feel very good. They move it back to the nest excitedly to eat it together, especially to offer it to the queen ant. The queen ant eats it. The most important thing is that the queen ant eats it. After the ants eat this medicine, they will be poisoned and go crazy, biting each other until the last one dies of exhaustion, until all of them die, and more importantly, the queen ant also dies, which is a complete extermination. Other medicines and other methods cannot achieve this effect, so there is no need to mess around. If this ant medicine is hard to buy where you are, you can buy it on Taobao. There is a store called "Harmonious BMW" that sells it very well, and it costs less than 2 yuan. You can search it yourself, and after killing the ants, be sure to choose our best answer.

Question 6: How can you kill ants in flower pots? Here are some ways to prevent and control ant infestations.

Eliminate the source of ants

Potted flowers should be kept away from ant nests. If ants are found in the pot soil, first follow the ants' crawling route to find the ant nest, and then eliminate it by flooding, burning, spraying, etc. Then sprinkle some lime on the ant nest and the ant's crawling route to prevent the ants from causing harm again.

Physical prevention

1. When applying basal fertilizer or organic fertilizer, you must use fully fermented and decomposed organic fertilizer. Do not use raw or half-ripened fertilizer to avoid attracting ants to seek food.

2. Clean the leaves. The excrement of flies, moths, aphids, mites and other insects on the leaves can easily attract ants to come and look for food, so you should often spray the leaves with clean water to keep them clean. At the same time, you should often sweep the ground to keep the potted flower maintenance area clean and hygienic to avoid odorous substances that attract ants.

3. Soak in water to kill insects: Slowly place the potted flowers that have been damaged by ants into a bucket of water (the water should be deep enough to cover the pot soil) and soak for 30 to 60 minutes. The ants cannot stand the water and will crawl out of the pot soil. At this time, you can kill the ants floating on the water surface and crawling on the stems and leaves of the potted flowers.

4. Garlic to repel insects: Peel the garlic, mash it, and bury the crumbs in the soil. The ants will flee on their own because they cannot stand the fumigation of garlic.

5. Repotting and removing ants: For plants that have built nests at the roots, the most effective way is to repot them in a pool of water to kill all the ants. Then clean the roots of the plants and use new, sterilized potting soil to plant potted flowers.

Chemical control

1. Disinfection of potting soil Before potting or repotting, disinfect the potting soil with 40% formalin, 65% mancozeb powder, 50% carbendazim powder and other agents to kill termites, ants and their eggs in the potting soil.

2. Bury the medicated soil: Mix 1 part of 50% trichlorfon wettable powder with 50 parts of sieved fine soil to make the medicated soil, and then bury the medicated soil in the potting soil at equal distances to kill ants.

3. For plants that are not suitable for repotting in hot weather, where the effect of burying the medicine in the soil is not obvious and the plants are seriously damaged, or where ants have built nests in the potting soil, use 10 grams of 50% phoxim emulsifiable concentrate to mix 500 to 1000 grams of water, or use 1000 grams of clean water to mix 5 to 10 grams of 40% dimethoate emulsion to make a liquid medicine. Pour the liquid medicine into the potting soil and places where there are ants, and then seal the entire flower pot with a plastic bag for 12 hours to kill all the ants.

In addition, six simple methods to kill insects and ants in flower pots

(1) When small flying insects appear in the flower pot, you can use three or four cotton sticks, dip them in DDT (diluted to a point that it does not drip), and then insert the handles into the soil around the plant. The flying insects will be eliminated.

(2) Laundry detergent: Dissolve one tablespoon of laundry detergent in four liters of water and spray it on the leaves and flowers every two weeks to completely eliminate white flies and bacteria.

(3) 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 leaves and flowers to kill ticks and their eggs.

(4) Beer: Pour beer into a shallow basin under the soil of the flower pot. The snails will be drowned when they crawl into it.

(5) 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 infestation.

(6) When ants appear in a 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, and dilute the rest and pour it into the flowerpot. The ants will be eliminated.

Question 7: The plant pots I bought home are full of ants, and they seem to have built nests. How can I kill them? My method is:

Put a piece of meat on the side of the basin, wait until the ants are all over it, pick it up and throw it away

Every day

It was gone in two weeks (after all, ants don’t reproduce that quickly)

But it depends on how many ants there are in your house. If there are many, you can come twice a day and kill them in a few times. If there are few, they will be killed in a few days.

This is my trick to kill ants in flower pots. In order to protect the flowers, I use this method. The effect is very good. I hope you can also kill ants successfully.

Question 8: How to kill ants in bonsai?

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 flower pot, you can 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, and dilute the rest and pour it into the flower pot. The ants can be eliminated. ????

Countermeasure 2: Dust and odor removal

Many families usually rinse potted flowers under the tap when cleaning, whether in winter or in midsummer. This often affects the growth of plants due to sudden temperature changes. If it is a foliage plant, you can use a cloth dipped in water to clean it one by one along the veins of the branches and leaves. Other plants can be rinsed with a spray bottle. In addition, indoor flowers will emit an unpleasant odor if fermented solution is used as fertilizer. If orange peels are put into the fertilizer solution, the odor will be eliminated. At the same time, orange peels themselves are also excellent fertilizers.

Another problem is that weeds in flower pots have strong reproductive capacity. Weeds in the yard will grow everywhere again in a few days after they have just been pulled out. In this case, do not throw away the salt water used to pickle duck eggs or pickles. In the season when weeds are flourishing, pour the salt water on the weeds. Three or four times can curb the growth of weeds. In addition, the water used to boil potatoes can also remove weeds in the yard or aisles. Another effective way to remove weeds is to sprinkle water on the ground to be weeded, so that the ground is wet. After 24 hours, pour the water with bleach, and the weeds will quickly wither and die.

Countermeasure 3: Fertilizer treatment

The key to watering flowers and fertilizing them lies in the materials used. People like to use leftover tea at home to water flowers, but it must be processed scientifically before use to be environmentally friendly and safe.

1. Use leftover tea leaves to water flowers. Use leftover tea leaves to water flowers, which can not only maintain soil moisture, but also add nitrogen and other nutrients to plants. However, you should water the flowers regularly and appropriately, depending on the humidity of the flowerpot, and not just pour leftover tea leaves and water them.

2. Use spoiled milk to water flowers. When milk has gone bad, adding water to water flowers is good for their growth. But you need to use more water to dilute it. Unfermented milk is not suitable for watering flowers because it generates a lot of heat during fermentation, which can "burn" the roots (rot the roots).

3. Use cold boiled water to water flowers. Using cold boiled water to water flowers can make the leaves of flowers and trees lush and the flowers bright, and can promote early flowering. If used to water asparagus fern, it can make its branches and leaves grow horizontally and grow short and dense.

4. Water the flowers with warm water. In winter, the weather is cold and the water is cool, so it is better to use warm water to water the flowers. It is best to place the water indoors and wait until it is close to the room temperature before watering. It is better if the water temperature can reach 35℃ before watering.

5. Use rice water to water flowers. Regularly use rice water to water Milan and other flowers to make their branches and leaves luxuriant and the flowers bright. It contains trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It is both a compound fertilizer and a mild fertilizer. It does not hurt the roots of flowers. It can be used at any time as long as the pot soil is not waterlogged.

6. Medical stone fertilizer. Sprinkle a layer of medical stone granules in the flower pot to promote the growth of flowers and prolong the flowering period.

7. Crushed eggshell fertilizer. Crush the eggshells and bury them in the flower pots. It is a good fertilizer that can make the potted flowers grow lush and colorful.

8. Cook a small amount of soybeans for later use. Drill three holes in each flower pot, put 3-5 cooked soybeans in, 2-3 cm deep, do not hurt the flower roots, and cover with soil as usual.

9. Roast and crush the pork bones and fish bones that you have prepared to discard, and place them on the bottom or surface of the basin......>>
