I have a raised herb bed and have got red ants invading it. I have tried numerous ant powders, etc. with no chance of being rid of them.
Please help x.

I've heard pouring boiling water right into the mound works. I read here some use corn meal sprinkled near the top of the mound. Hope this helps.
I read in an ad for a gardening mag. that you can put cucumber peelings on an ant hill and they'd either leave or die. Don't remember which.
Red ants are the only the enemy of termites. I do not run them off. But if were over run with them I would use Sevin. Sevin will them all. Sevin should be used for Jap beetles. Do not use beetle traps.

We have large red ants and mounds all over our property, and all through our vegetable garden. Does anyone know a good way to totally get rid of them?
I have a yard full of red ants; what can I do? I hate to have to pay the high for the cost of most commercial insecticides.
