Ants don't like the smell of fresh mint, so planting it in vegetable patches and flower beds deters ants and other insects while giving your garden a lovely aroma. Minty essential oils from peppermint, wintergreen, geranium, thyme, clove and rosemary work, too! Cornmeal, Boric Acid and coffee
I have learned so much from your channel. Im still fairly young, but a bad accident caused me to have to step away from a job I loved. Gardening has helped me cope with my health issues.
There really is no such thing called "accident"=look at it as a higher calling. When I was a teenager I was anorexic and almost died ( I actually had a few of those incidents happen )= I was sent to my mother's cousin on the farm=it saved my life. We need nature and we need to be in nature= but we have just forgotten that=and what is it that we have been told throughout this whole pandemic=spend time in nature. You just turned to the "thing" which actually heals you. Wishing you well.
Praying for you to be healed and for comfort for your heart ❤️ May our GLORIOUS CREATOR ALMIGHTY YAHWEH ❤️ and MESSIAH KING YAHSHUA ❤️ Jesus's real Hebrew NAME that means YAHWEH SAVES ❤️ please bless and keep you ❤️ Asking our Glorious CREATOR ALMIGHTY YAHWEH ❤️ to please bless you ❤️
Our Glorious CREATOR ALMIGHTY YAHWEH ❤️ and MESSIAH KING YAHSHUA ❤️ told us in Psalm 91:14 that HE will rescue all those who love HIM and know HIS NAME ❤️ please watch Jim and Penny Caldwell the real Mt Sinai on CZcams the Caldwells found ALL the Biblical archeological evidence that proves the Bible is the history of the world and that ALMIGHTY YAHWEH ❤️ is our one true CREATOR who loved us his creation very much . ALMIGHTY YAHWEH ❤️ loves you Brother just turn to HIM and ask for your needs , HE hears the thoughts of your heart and HE loves you.
But you still need to love yourself 💗
Things happen for a reason. Trust me when I say I had an injury that drove me to my breaking point. And, well I'm glad it did now. Blessings g in all your endeavors. Hope your feeling better.
UPDATE: HOLY COW! 2 days ago, I mixed up the Borax - about 1 cup to 1 cup of sugar, added water, then went out there and just plopped big spoonfuls all over the truckload of manure compost that had been colonized. I went and dug around in there with a shovel this morning, and we are down from MILLIONS of ants to several DOZEN ants that don’t look so good!!! THANK YOU for the video Luke - IT WORKED!!!!

8:33 He states the methods
1. Flood them out
2. Cinnamon
3. Borax
Thank you!
Geeze. 8 minutes in before he gets to it.
Thanks
He totally does, but I sort enjoy it in between being annoyed. He gives us such amazing information by the I leave feeling it was worth it
I find that diatomaceous earth around the house foundation is very effective....as is boric acid powder inside the home.
Are you kidding? I opened my browser to search for how to deal with ants in my raised beds, and a notification for your brand new video popped up! Thank you; your timing is perfect!
SherylLovesTravel That’s because google is eavesdropping all the time
God’s timing is perfect, even in regards to small things :)
Google is reading our minds 😳😳
@@dylbrody9666 And listening to everything we say. Big brother is watching our every move.
Actual ant control methods start at 8:46 and include flooding the ant hill with water, covering the ant hill with cinnamon including the opening at the top and a 1:1 thick mix of borax and sugar placed on the ant bed. Too thin and the ants will die before they deliver the mix to the colony.
He definitely rambles 🤣
@@88Donyes, but it helps to know the why's and how's.
@@lpmoron6258100%. It’s like everyone wants a 2 minute video with all the info in it without knowing why to do anything. People just want to be robotic and follow in line rather than become educated on the why
I was going to pst the same thing.
He took forever to get to the point. Everything was good but I wasn’t looking for a class on gardening.
I saw others say borax on other places too. Going to try it
I finally had a truckload of manure delivered and dumped in a big pile next to the garden; 2 weeks later (yesterday) when I went to use it in the garden. I discovered it was now a HUGE ant pile. I mean a pickup truck bed sized ant hill!!! Getting out the Borax now...wish me luck.
Yikes! Good luck!
I do wish you luck :-). Maybe cover the heap with Diatomaceous Earth.
I really like that Luke finds ways to make your garden inexpensive (a big part of why I grow is the that it does not have to cost alot if you do not want it to).
I also tried the cinnamon and it also worked. They went away once I sprinkled it all around my flower. I created a barrier with it and the next day there was no ants on my cantaloupe plants. I was so happy and amazed! Thank you again!
Hahahaha!
How did you do it
This definitely works great! Had a pretty severe any problem when we first moved into our home. Spent a bunch of money on chemicals that knocked the problem down but didn't completely get rid of them. Found out about the borax and worked perfectly!
Been watching your channel for years and years! You never let me down when I have questions
Ooo
I had a horrible ant problem in my kitchen as soon as the weather warmed this year. They were so desperate for a food source they were in my cabinets, around my fridge - everywhere - and I keep a clean kitchen. No matter how much I cleaned or what methods used, they kept coming. Even my absolute last resort ant spray didn't work! I finally tried the borax and sugar paste. I placed some on a piece of cardboard outside on my windowsill right next to their trail (as I could not locate their colony). I also placed globs of it right next to their trail in several locations. It was amazing to watch them stop in their tracks, turn around, and grab some of it. Some of them were greedy little buggers, lol. I am proud to say I have not seen a single ant in days. It's like they disappeared overnight.
TRY THIS!
I appreciate that you include in your videos both the cause of a problem, and the solution to the problem in one video. Thanks for all the great information.
I also appreciate his discussions.
Great tip Luke. We use the borax and sugar method as well. Since we have a garden cat now we use the container with a lid and a few holes in the side to allow the ants to go in and out of the container. This prevents our cat from getting into it.
Thanks for sharing

I appreciate the background info. If you just get the synopsis, you may miss important details. And he is such a cutie!
That squash looks lovely behind you. I know you’re busy but I’d like a video of you running around the garden just showing off the stuff you’re growing and how beautiful it all is!
You know this is the first youtube video that truly tells you how to get rid of ants that I seen.
This guys is gonna survive the apocalypse
Currently lol
We'll know for sure after the election this November.
Lol not with them weak gates
...and another (may God forbid) pandemic).
And what do you think now?
I had 2 tomatoes go through vivipary at the same time. I planted them with the outer tomato still there... then forgot about them. No water or nutrients added for a month. Then one day I noticed 2 healthy plants coming from the pot. I decided to move and water it. When I did, a whole colony of ants evacuated the pot, babies, queen and all. It was quite fascinating to see that they had somehow kept those plants alive. Both plants thrived for 2 years and produced many more tomatoes. I'm in a micro climate zone of the SF bay area in CA.
This house stood empty for 6 years. They were in all the kitchen cabinets - floor level all the way up to the ceiling cabinets. $1,200.00 pest control treatment before I could move in last July. I reacted to the chemicals, went through about 3 months of itching & breathing issues.
Almost overnight 7 or 8 red ant beds appeared along the sidewalk in the yard. Help!!!
I wipe them out so effectively with diatomaceous earth. Also, powder my dogs at the first sign of fleas. Once does it. That stuff is my BFF.
Thanks for the info. How do you apply it? I have ants attacking the tomato stems in my raised bed.
Another great one , Luke. Thanks for the help on this one!
This is awesome! Thank you Luke for sharing all of your knowledge! I am a new gardener who is learning slowly with a small raised bed. All of your tips for high fruit yield in a small space is great! Thank you for being out there and sharing your love for sustainable gardening.❤
I mixed powdered sugar with borax (50/50). I didn't add any water and watched the ants carry big chunks of the borax granules down into their colony. Next day, ants where gone.
Thanks :-)!!! I actually see why that works, got to use *powdered sugar*!
That is what I use. Much easier than making a paste but this year is a bad ant year, I might use both in different areas.
Having a hard time trying to get them to get the borax into the nest. I tried dissolving with sugar, I tried making a dough, both with wheat and rice flour. When you said powdered sugar, you meant confectioner's sugar right?
Do you mean boric acid of borax because boric acid and borax are different products.
@@nunyabiznes33 Powdered Borax is large granules. The powdered or confectioner's sugar sticks to the outside of the borax granules, making them sweet. You don't need to put any in the hole, just sprinkle it around, dry. The worker/gatherer ants take the sweetened poison into the nest eventually killing most of the colony and the queen ant. Once the queen ant is dead, the rest abandon the nest and look for another queen to set up a new home.
P.S. If it rains on the sugar coated Borax, you'll have to re-apply.
Amazing timing. Thank you sir! Have a great weekend.
I tried the borax and sugar with water last year. The video I saw said to soak cotton balls and put them in closed containers (Tupperware) with some holes in the bottom so they can go inside and drink the solution. It wasn’t working at all and I thought, well, how the heck are the ants going to carry a drop of the mix back to their queen, so I went to the kitchen, grabbed some panko (or bread crumbs) soaked them in a new prepared mix of sugar, water and borax and then put those in the containers, it worked. I have 4 raised beds, I had the ants in all 4 of them after mulching them, so I wonder if the mulch had ants as I never had issues with them in my garden before? We will see if they come back this season. Some people are saying they are good for your garden, no they are not when they bring their friends aphids with them!
AWESOME IDEA!!! Then as the panko goes down you have confirmation that the bait is being taken to the Queen!!
Great idea. This is now on my to try list. Thank you.
Some want sugar/sweet some want fat (peanut butter or protein (egg yolk?) i mashed egg yolk with 10x and boric acid powder. Made putty balls. It’s got to taste good, they know it when there’s too much borax or boric powder. Less is more. ANY amt of boric is fatal to insects. But it must be in a good they want/smells good to them.
A quick question how do you water your raised beds after putting the mixture on the soil. Do we have to wait few days to water our plants?
@@minazsunderji1099 I put them in some small cheap Tupperware containers, I made a opening on the bottom side making sure no water will get in but the ants go in. It has worked! I do have to change the panko mixture every 2 days because it dries out and the ants lose interest on it, but after a few days, they are gone. You can pick up the containers and move them while you water and then put them back. I have drip irrigation on my raise beds. Good luck!
Luke, you can also put dry grits on the hill. The ants will take their bounty back to the colony and the queen. They will all eat it, drink water and die from exploding. I use it iny garden to fight off fire ants. They are gone now, but I am sure they will visit again, next spring.
That is not at all how ants eat. Ants take the grits back to their colony intact and will grow fungus and bacteria on the grits. Then the ants eat the fungi and bacteria. Now it could be that the fungi and bacteria which grow on the grits is disruptive to whatever else they were farming, but there is definitely no ant exploding going on.
interesting.
I heard this one was a myth. Have you done it?
@@JaniceCrowell yes, I do it every spring. You can sprinkle them on the mound and watch them come out and get it right away. If you go back to that mound in a week, it will be dead.
@@franklandry5864 hello, I'm curious... Do you live in a dry climate area? I'm glad it worked for you but maybe it would help us all to gain more understanding. Thanks 😊
I can't believe how fast cinnamon did the trick! This was in a potted herb plant, mind you, so I'm keeping an eye on it, but within five minutes of sprinkling it on my soil the ants dispersed. Thanks bro!
What you want to say is “ 1-part borax + 1-part sugar, mix into a paste so that the borax and the sugar is all together mixed”, then the ants will take “the mixture” back to the hive and feed the queen and the borax mixed with the sugar will kill the queen , just like wasps or bees, you have to kill the queen to kill the hive. I’m 49, not in my 20’s or 30’s, this is how you do it kids. The sugar “attracts” and the Borax “kills”. If you take a piece of sausage, 1 cm, soak it over night in Borax, put on floor near where you see ants, they love fat of any kind too, you will see the mauling the sausage and after a few hours, you will see them gradually disappear because they are either dying or gone home to feed the queen and dying there. Borax is the key ingredient to killing ants and other insects too. If they like sugar, give them sugar with Borax, if they like meat/fat give them borax mixed with it. If they appear in your home, they are most likely to be hungry for sugar or fats/meat. Thank you
I like this. Thank you. Why can't we copy/paste this but we can screenshot to save at least.
Great info. Thanks.
I wonder what you're like in bed.
abnoxious .YOU SOUND VERY VERY !!!!!!

I love your content, always so helpful. Thank you for explaining how the and why the remedies work
I agree. That's huge for me too.
Thank you for this super informative video! I've been battling a colony for 2 years now in my front flower bed. I've tried so many things (and bought a few things) I tried borax and sugar in the container with holes but that didn't work last summer. So frustrating. Tonight I poured boiling water on them then came inside and found your video. I immediately made the paste and went out to drizzle it and realized that the hot water agitated them and they were all coming out of the entrances! Good timing I hope!
Effective. Not affective. Thank you for all your videos...just love them and I learn so much.
Your cinnamon ant-secticide worked beautifully! I had a gazillion ants in my porch steps. I tried the borax-sugar bait first, but that didn’t seem to work. So I just poured cinnamon over the area on a dry day when there was no rain predicted for a few days. I haven’t seen any ants now in more than a week. Thanks for the great advice. I’ve learned a lot from your channel these past few isolating months and am hoping for a great harvest this year, G-d willing.
Did absolutely nothing for me. I dumped cinnamon all over the ants themselves. They didn't mind a bit.
@@jessee7334 He said the cinnamon only works if the ants were going after a fungus foodsource, I guess yours weren't..
So in that case if I understood him aright, Borax ought to do the trick for you.
@@jessee7334 he said no ‘Willy nilly’
Aww so :
This dude friggin rocks 🎸 bout to send these ants a house warming gift
I imported a couple anteaters from south america. It did set me back 22,000 at the end of everything but the ants are outgunned and kept in check now.

That escalated quickly😂😂😂
Thank you. This is the most informative video I've seen online, and you've explained a number of mysterious phenomena that have showed up in our produce garden.

Thank you so much! You are such a wealth of information. The detailed explanation really helps gardeners figure out what is going on and get to the heart of the problem!
Yeah you got them with the fine details this time! Luke thank you for this!!
I found a suggestion for cornmeal and used it yesterday. (I'm in UK and used polenta). 24 hours later and it's ant Armageddon! Total wipeout! Very pleased. Also cheap and organic.
Did you mix it with borax or anything else? Or just cornmeal?
@@FloridaGirl-I used the corn flour. I believe it's called massa in the Mexican food section. It's pretty fine. .
Thorough and clear explanation. Superb.
Easy and thorough explanation. Thanks.
I’ve got some ants farming aphids this year. They’ve really taken a liking to my volunteer borage plants. At first it was kind of a neat to watch, but then they start getting a little out hand and need to be delt with. Essentially, it’s farming as we know it, just on a smaller level. I’m still trying to find there where they’ve taken up residence, so I’ve only been able to take the out a branch at a time. Lol! 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Came across this video!! Thanks so much! I tried the cinnamon for around my strawberries (along with an outdoor ant trap) and they disappeared! Also used the cinnamon in some shaded flower beds that got a nasty mold on top (as per a fellow gardeners suggestion) I would've never thought something that usually sits in the pantry could be soooo beneficial to our garden! Thanks Luke!!
Full of knowledge! So much great information. Thank you!
Thank you! This was super informative and helpful!
Great video. I have a severe problem this year with the ants so thank you for this info :-)
What if you can't find where they are coming from? I only see them in the soil when I pull up my radishes 🤷
Learned more than I expected. Mahalo🤙🏼
Going to use this method today. Thanks, Luke!
I didn’t worry much about ants 🐜 in the garden until I saw them attacking my worms. Then it was war. 😡
The way to stop mildew is, for your plant to have enough calcium, which means it will produce calcium pectate in its interstitial layers instead of water in its interstitial layers so that, if your plant is producing enough pectin then your mildew will dry up.
Now deficiencies can be due to the roots of the plants being incapable of taking up whatever substance they are lacking due to root damag hte problem might be with your plants roots,, maybe a young plant.
Also, the uptake of calcium is greatly increases if you have amino acids in the soil which open up the channels in the plant that calcium can use to move around your plant. So, the answer is not so much to add calcium as to add amino acids or I suppose, to have plenty of worms and microbes in your soil whose bodies fill the soil with amino acids.
Another factor that determines a good uptake of calcium is an adequate air supply which will encourage respiration of the plant, the movement of water through the plant being a pump for taking calcium into the plant.
Also. too much nitrogen creats weak growth, big cells with thin cell walls whihc facilitate the apearance of molds.
I owe this information to Harley Smith's videos, which give a lot of very interesting information on plants.
Most helpful! Enjoyed everything about this video. Explanations given really answered a lot of my questions! Subscribed!!!🍓💜🌞
Thank you for this video, ive been struggling like crazy with ants in my garden and my yard. Im gonna get this going immediately!
Great info Luke. We've always used Terror brand liquid bait, but I'm going to give your recipe a try after hearing about using a paste vs liquid bait. We just constructed beautiful garden boxes and having ants move in would be a nightmare for us. I've had them colonize plant pots in my can yard and kill plants before.
I call them aphid ranchers around here, moving their herd of aphids from spot to spot.
The aphids thing blew my mind !!!!!!! I knew almost everything else but that was both mind blowing and funny ! Waw ! Super informative video ! Thank you !
Reason #5 painful bites.
I have heard these methods before, but you explain the why and how better than anyone else I have read or heard/seen.
Thank you for adding the details.
Thanks SO MUCH. This is just what I needed. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
To locate their home, look for ants with swollen bottoms. They are heading back to the colony. (Saw that on another video. Credit to them.)
Thanks.

Thanks for the tips . I have heard about sugar and Borax but that little detail of adding water was missing. I have been doing this wrong for years. Now I know why it wasn’t effective. I’m so thankful for your help today and knowledge!
Hi, does the “Borax+sugar+water” work now?
Yea I'm just planting and got bit several times. New beds so not in yet but I'm glad to see this today!!
TYVM 🌟🌻🌟 Ants on my lawn going to try the cinnamon method first. Watched from Mass USA. Awesome tutorial 🦋
Thank you for the great tips. Something else I use on ants is diatomaceous earth and it works on other pests as well. I mix it with sugar for ant control in the house and garden with 100 percent success.
Do you also add water to that mixture or just dust it across the top of the pile?
@@englishcoleman9145 I don't mix it with water. In fact if it rains, I will reapply.
Thank you
Very interesting. Cheers for the info
Wow, another very useful and informative video. Thank you!
Huge fan of borax. It's great in the laundry too. Great video. Look forward to more.
I've been using it in the laundry, too. But, I recently heard that it's bad for elastic. Something to research.
That McCormick jar of cinnamon probably costs about $6. You're sprinkling it on ants, you do not need high-quality cinnamon, that same thing is maybe $1 at Walmart.
It’s about $5.50 at Walmart. Try dollar tree maybe?
Try one of the dollar stores. Dollar Tree, or .99 Cent Store.

How do I get rid of ants that have their colony in the "weep holes" of my brick house? Maybe the flooding technique?
Thanks for explaining how these methods work. I've tried and it worked effectively in the house, but am now trying it on the nest outside. I need to put more. Your channel is so helpful! Just bought a home and taking care of the lawn myself is a learning experience. 🙂
Very informative video. Love this guy
Thanks so much for the advice.
I've used borax and sugar to effectively get rid of ants for years. BUT what you forgot to mention in this video is that, while borax is natural, borax is also poisonous to animals and humans if ingested. I don't recommend sprinkling it around, or pouring it in your garden as a liquid. What I do to ensure everyone is safe is I spread the borax and sugar paste inside toilet paper rolls and put them in the pathway of the ants. If you have small critters then I recommend putting a mesh cage around this so they won't get hold of the rolls. The ants can still get through the cage, but everyone else is kept safe. The ants will swarm the rolls because they are attracted to the sugar. Let them do that. You WANT them to swarm the rolls and then take the sugar/borax mix back to their queen. Once the queen dies, the nest moves on to a new location. Borax works in a second way. It is a desiccant, so it dries out the ants after they have walked all over the paste.
Any idea is a good idea if it gets rid of the ants. If I may add to this, I've just planted a Fushia I bought, in a freshly cleaned ceramic pot. (When emptying it I discovered a mass of ants & flying ants all in the bottom, hence coming on here for thoughts on how to get rid of them next time around). The pot is large & heavy once the soil is in, so prior to that I prepared my ant preparation & put it in a small glass dish I had (bought as a dessert when shopping!) but any small dish will do. I always stand my plant pots on 'feet' from the garden centre to lift it off the ground so the gap underneath was big enough to slide the glass dish under, as well as for drainage. I should add I put a piece of mesh over the drainage hole to try & put the ants off but not so excess water can't get out.... Who knows if this will work but we'll see!
Oops, just reread my piece....No! I do not buy 'glass' to eat....It was a Crème Brûlée & very nice it was too!!...sorry...
borax is branded form of boron. you can purchase a bottle of boron capsules from natural health stores. it is not toxic to humans
@@annedwards358 there are different forms of the substance that are processed different or have certain additional/ chemical make ups. Just because the name is the same, does not mean it is the same where it can be used in the same manner. Boron and borax are not the same thing and not safe for human consumption. They have the same basic chemical structure, but borax is processed different and has different salts etc. Which can and will do some damage if consumed.
@@kathryncastanares525 plus it only works for household purposes NOT garden. This guy's a tool
Perfect! I never had any success in wiping out an ant hive with the sugar and borax. Now I know that mine was too liquid. I will definitely try the paste next time! Thanks for the tip 😁
Try powdered sugar with borax, 50/50. Don't add water. The powdered sugar sticks to the borax granules and the ants haul it into their colony. Works great.
thanks for sharing the information
Great information thank you.
Have tried the cinnamon before with no success (ants invading my planters), but will possibly try again due to them tunneling under my new hydrangea :( The borax solution also looks like a good option, so thank you for the tips!
Borax has always worked very quickly for me. It NEVER fails.
What about concrete ants? They have a ton of ant holes along concrete seams, cracks etc? Can you just put a dollop beside each hole? Not sure how to find the main source/hill.
I'd run it right in the crack if it were me. Cut a tiny piece off the corner of a ziplock bag, then fill the bag and squeeze it like a pastry tube. Get it right in the crack or seam.
Another wonderful video I will be using the knowledge you have taught me.
I will try thanks
The start of the actual information you are looking for is at 8:34
tnx
Thank you
Yea because who needs to know WHY the ants are a problem. We just likes to kills em.
I actually thought the first 8 mins was useful because he explains their habitat and why they do what they do to help me to understand them.
😂 🙏
I use borax, sugar and a small drizzle of honey. It combines into a paste in awhile. Then I put it into used water bottles, cap the top and cut a little hole in the side so ants can get in but rain stays (mostly) out. This prevents the borax paste from seeping into the soil and keeps the mix useful longer. Borax in large enough quantity can hurt your plants so you want to be careful with it.
Well said, Dave. I'm surprised that it wasn't mentioned in the video.
Great idea! I was thinking about how to keep it away from my small dog.
