Orange Oil and Ants!!!!

The ants are in full effect!!!!  They are in the front yard....they are in the back yard making mounds over plants we thought they didn't like.  They made a mound over catnip and mint!?!?!?

We recently bought some Orange Oil to use in our compost tea.  We also heard that it is good for insecticide.  Since we are all about organic gardening, we decided to use Orange Oil to attack the ants!!!

The Ingredients:

Orange Oil (6 ounces)
Molasses (1Tablespoon)
Dish washing Liquid (a squeeze)
Water (to fill a gallon jug)

The Procedure:
 
Place the orange oil, molasses and dish washing liquid in a gallon jug.  Fill the rest of the jug with water.  Shake well and drench the ant bed!!!!

We used the solution yesterday and came back to empty ant beds!!!!!  Hope it works for you too!!!!

We got the solution idea from the following website:
