ants in MJ soil :(
    #5939489 - 08/07/06 12:49 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Over the past few days I've noticed alot of ants in, on and around my the soil that my MJ plant is in. i tried spraying around the plant with a hot pepper/water mix but the little buggers are still there. Any suggestions on how to rid of theses suckers?

You could try neem oil.. that works pretty good for keeping bugs away.

what type of ants?

most ants wont eat your plants, if anything they will eat aphids and other things that attack your plant.

I like the little black ones...

"The active ingredient d-Limonene found in citrus oils kill many flying and crawling insects on contact by destroying the waxy coating of the insect's respiratory system. With their respiratory system damaged, the insect basically suffocates.

Other products use garlic as a base and work to repel insects. Hot peppers and essential oils of herbs such as cloves also work wonders to repel insects and other pests." -article about organic insecticides

Ants are good, leave them alone. They control pests and help airate the soil.

They aren't fishing out termite larvae are they? Termite larvae will eat roots like crazy, and your plant will fall over before you know it.

I had ants eat an outdoor one of mine, little turds demolished nearly the whole thing, then a slug took to the stem and it was all over.

well aside from neem oil, you could always use tobacco, get a cigar or crappy pack of cigarettes and soak them in water over night, that water will do pretty well at keeping animals at bay, and if diluted can even be used on the plant itself.

although i wouldnt recomend spraying it on the buds for obvious reasons.
