    Definitely works for ants AND other insects! I live in FL and we have all kinds. This works! 🙏💖
  • @susiesue5237
    Im goint to try this on FIRE ants, which are very dangerous. Thanks for the recipe.
  • @kaydavis5495
    Thank you! I have noticed more ants this year than ever. Never thought about the weather not helping and them growing in numbers faster.
  • @nicolemalone5982
    Thank you so, so much for posting this video!!! I too live in Maryland and have similar soil to you and I also have these ant infestations all the time and I didn’t realize that they damaged my garden, but as time passes on, I definitely believe they do and I’ve been wanting to get rid of them safely! You have taught me so much, Gary! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us… I’ve become quite the fairly successful home gardener because of you!
  • @rdblal05
    ❤ thank you for sharing this info. i have never seen so many ants in all my life. 😡they are in the garden, pots, raised beds, all over my porch. climbing all over plants, trees. living inside of empty pots, piles of cardboard; bascially they are in/on Everthying on the ground. they even climb onto my tables and get into my pots and seedlings. i almost wanted to give up until ....BAM .... you posted the most helpful video. i will be giving this a try. thank you for your expertise and hard work. 😁 Btw.....i noticed they are really attracted to the plants that have aphids on them. trying to get rid of aphids with a soapy water mix. but that also seems like a losing battle.
  • Thank you so much for sharing!! The ants are horrible in our garden this year. They have been farming aphids on our plants, and it's been a real problem for the melons and squash. Hoping your borax solution will work!
  • @raymondjbarron
    Worked great! Had it a little to wet the first batch and just turned to syrup on the sun. 2nd try not to wet and kept it shaded.
  • Thanks for the advice I'ma try it great job gardening👌 ✌️💯
  • @Users5622
    new to gardening & ants are a huge problem in my garden 😳
  • @rockyusa2012
    Wow what an infestation. I wonder if that affected my corn and eggplant production.
  • @MsJKGardener
    Super helpful for the garden colonies, what about in the compost bin?
