Q.

The soil on my section is absolutely full of ants. Will adding lime to the soil get rid of the ants?

A.

  • Adding garden lime to the soil won’t help get rid of ants.
  • Use ant sand that can be purchased from hardware stores and garden centres around the nest or along the trails and they will disappear.
  • Alternatively, use an ant bait in an ant station.
