Good morning,
I have been fighting carpenter ants and fire ants in my garden everyday for about a month now. No matter what I try it doesn't work to keep them out.
I can go out every evening and kill everyone of them I see but I'm fighting them again every evening about an hour before sunset.
They have decimated my okra leaves.
I found horticultural tape which keeps them off my plants and I found that using a spray with Dawn and orange essential oil kills them.
I've put down diatomaceous earth, used Neem and BT and even had to resort to a chemical spray. I want an organic garden but can't find a solution to this problem. Very frustrating! I'm afraid to go anywhere even for the weekend.
How do I get rid of them for good?
