Tea Leaves Deter Ants
I have discovered that spreading used gallon tea brewing bags (opened up, of course) in my raised bed garden has made the nest of fire ants go away! I also applied it to an area where we park and no longer have ants there either! It does take a few days to see the effects, be patient! The next batch will go around the exterior of my house! Do NOT use sweetened or flavored varieties! Hope this works for you too!!
