Automatic Watering/Ants


AUTOMATIC WATERING - I need someone to inform me where I can purchase an
automatic watering device,(punch)holed plastic tubings, etc. I have
approximately 50 meters of flower beds that need to be watered (each 24
hours)during the family absence. Any suggestions? Thanks for any helping
hand.

ANTS - I live at 42°W-20°S. During the dry (currently our winter) season
and the beginning of the rain season (summer) ants infest/damage
oranges, pears, pinus, eucalyptus, etc. The ant causing it is the
Brazilian leaf cutter (sauva). Besides the tradicional  baits (to be
carried to the nests), do anyone knows a more efective way to FINISH
with those ants? For instance a natural product that by contact can be
carried by the ants inside their nests and contaminate their food
growing storage.
Another problem are the fire ants, that despite causing lesser problems
to plants are dangerous when a person step on their nets. Any
suggestions?
Maybe someone living at 142°E-20° may have similar problems.
All tips are welcome.
