Re: Eggplant ants

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

<<<<<<Thanks for answering, I too have never received
answers from anyone concerning my problems. I've tried
everything natural to discourage the ants so I'm
moving on to biological means. My father-in-law
suggested I just put Ortho ant killer around the
eggplants base. >>>>>

   I don't remember seeing the original post, but what about
putting out a boric acid solution for the ants to take back
to their nest? Make a small batch of sugar water and put some
boric acid in it.Put it in a small cup or lid, then place it by the plant (
just make sure
kids and animals can't get to it )and wait. It takes a few days
but does seem to work.
