Let Mother Nature Rid Your Yard Of Ants. Chemical Free! Easy DIY

Always learn something new in every one of your videos brother. Domin>Ants 💪

I have a feeling this random youtube tidbit of info is gonna live in my head until I die. Thanks for the vid

Great video on ridding the yard of an ant mound, but as you mention in the video, the ants will end up fleeing this mound and setting up another one nearby. They will also likely carry the surviving larvae to the new mound site. So how do you prevent the ants from just moving to another mound? Here is something to try: When you set up your plastic bag on top of the ant bed, spread a healthy layer of diatomaceous earth just outside the perimeter of the plastic bag. (About a six-inch border outside the edge of the plastic directly on the grass should be good--or you could cover the entire area covered by the bag underneath the bag as well) The ants will cross this hazard as they flee the mound, and become covered with the DE. The larvae they are carrying will also be covered and both worker ants and larvae will become dessicated and die from the effects of the DE. The only caveat is that the ground cannot be wet for this to work. This method is non-toxic, easy, and effective, and makes a great complement to the technique you are showing here, which is already very effective at driving out the ants. We want to completely rid ourselves of these ants, and the two methods combined here will ensure that the ant population is decimated. Try it out and give me a reply on this comment thread!

Thank you for spreading the word on toxic free method! Great use and reuse of plastic too!

The most fascinating part to me is that no new ants move into that spot. I'd wager the chemical trails they use to communicate probably read to new ants looking to inhabit the area the way a devastated city covered in warning posters and huge spray painted messages like "EVERYONE DYING, FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!" would look to us. I see that and I'm moving on to greener pastures, quickly, while looking over my shoulder.

You handled that like an Aussie! Quick, Clear and to the Point! Great stuff buddy! I'll be using that around our property here in South Australia! Hurrah!!! Out

This is really cool but I feel like texas ants will only thank me if I do this.

I don't have ants. I don't even have a yard. Watched anyway.

Brilliant! And so simple... You are a Prince among gardeners.

I'm amazed at how much material those little guys can move around. Will try this method! My friend does this to control weeds in the bare areas around his garden but it takes a while longer than three days to cook those weeds.

BEST solution I've found so far!!thank you!!!!

So simple. Waiting for the next sunny day. Thanks

Thanks for the video, I am a senior citizen and seen video where you could use dawn soap and water to get rid of them but now since watching your video I want have to waste my dawn soap on them and now I learned from your video to use a trash bag instead, that I can use again. God Bless and I do appreciate you making the video.

Thank you so much. This method is new to me and I am sure going to try it

I’m going to try this, thank you

😉 Thanks for the info! I just stepped into a bran new new ant hill with both feet, in my sandals! They got me about 10-15 bites on each foot and between my toes. I'm definitely going to try this!!

Thanks for the tip dude! I live in Florida and bet this would work extra well!

I'd love to have seen this done with a thermometer probe inserted deeper into the nest to see how the temps are underground (do they sit higher or lower than what is immediately under the plastic? (either way, I'm going to be trying this in the spring when it warms back up).

This sounds like a great solution!

Loving these. 🎉 I appreciate it, guys!
