When you find an ant (or any insect) it is natural to reach for a can of insect spray. Even though this will kill the ants on contact,they may return in the following day or two. What if you do not have any insect spray? There are a whole lot of things you may have laying around the house that will kill them – and keep them away for good!

It is always good to try a number of different things to eliminate these pesty creatures. Ants can invade the cleanest of homes. If there’s a fire in your home, where would you extinguish it? At its source. It is identical with ants. You can do everything in your power to kill these pests, but until you discover the source they’ll keep coming back. If you see ants do not freak out and kill them straight away. Stop and observe where they’re coming from. In doing so, you can trace them back to their anthill. Also make note of where they’re going in your home. There could be small traces of food that you aren’t conscious of.

Tips for preventing Ants from Growing into your Home

Keep your home clean. Ensure that your counters and stove are wiped down immediately after every meal. Don’t leave dishes in the sink over night.
Set your crackers, cereals, sugar and pastas in a zip lock baggie or sealed container.
Take the necessary actions to seal this opening.
Put your pet’s food dish in a pan with water. Ants will not go through the water to put in your pet’s food dish.

If you have taken all of these steps and still have an ant problem, it isn’t your fault. You can help elimiate your ant problem by following the steps below.

Pipe Tobacco – Soak tobacco in warm water immediately. In the morning, throw the soggy tobacco away and pour the tobacco waterover the ant hill. 
Find the anthill(s). Destroy it by using boiling water with a teaspoon of salt. The Boiling water will fall the tunnels in the ant hill and the salt will make the ants lose their sense of direction.
This mixture lures the ants with the sugar water. They eat this and take it back to the nest and wipe out the rest of the colony. If you make it too powerful, it will kill the ants on contact. If you make it too weak, it will not work. You can make a larger amount than this, but keep the proportions the same. Place this mixture in which you have seen the ants crawling around. It may either be placed directly on the spot or you may put this mix in an opened jar and put it on its side. Although this mixture isn’t as toxic as commercial pestisides, make sure that you keep pets or children out of reach. After you put the boric acid mix down, you may see them gathering around eating it.   While it may look like something out of a horror movie, resist the impulse to kill them. If they return in a few days, you may want to put a bit more boric acid to the mixture (making sure it doesn’t kill them on contact)
Sprinkle corn meal or grits on the ant hill. They’ll take it to the queen. Ants can not digest this and will die.
Pour 1 liter of club soda on each ant hill you visit. This will suffocate the whole colony, including the queen. In about two weeks, and you’ll notice their abscense.

If you have a great deal of ants in your home, you may want to try a combination of those methods. It may take few weeks, even a month to find an improvement. Be patient and do not quit.

Spring is the season when a host of pest organisms come to feed and life hugely on our garden crops. Foremost amongst them are species of tiny flying insects, known commonly as aphids, which while not generally fatal, cause a lot of visual damage to a wide range of plants.

The first symptom of aphid activity is the secretion of sugary substances on new leaves, stems, and flowers. This can be extremely disagreeable with honeydew dripping on to paths, parked cars, and other crops. More harmful to the plants’ health is the sooty mould, which is a complex of fungi which develops from the honeydew. Left unattended, the soot blocks out light from reaching the plants’ foliage, thereby depriving the plant of its own vital energy source.

Before going into how to handle aphids, do not forget that the purpose of pest control isn’t the complete eradication of the offending organisms, but instead the control of their population levels to manageable proportions. The indiscriminate use of insecticides only succeeds in clearing the way for pest populations to explode, as the insecticides decrease the population of natural predators. For this reason, quite apart from environmental considerations, it is ideal to avoid applying pesticides in your home garden entirely.

As intelligent pest management is about control rather than elimination, non-poisonous, “environmentally friendly” insecticides, such as insecticidal soaps, can do a decent job. Better still is to use the good old-fashioned garden hose at high pressure to wash off the aphids, with a little help from your thumb and forefinger. Will this be 100% effective?

Since aphids in the spring tend to attack young juicy growth, they are largely found on the plants’ growing tips, which makes it easy to eliminate them by simply clipping the plants gently. This works perfectly for foliage plants such as Artemisia or Ivy, but of course might prove very disappointing for flowering ornamentals and fruit trees. Additionally it is possible to let nature take its turn. In the Mediterranean region for example, periodic hot, dry winds kill aphids just as effectively as insecticides.

With pests generally and aphids in particular, timing is all-important. Finally, we should be striving to turn the backyard into a balanced eco-system, but this is easier said than done. In the meantime, aphids should be treated in the first signs of infection.

Aphids produce a range of generations within one spring, so there’s every chance that the gardener is spraying the symptoms rather than the cause itself.

Aphids are nasty little critters that show up in your plants and vegetables with no knowing until it’s occasionally to late. Aphids can totally destroy a plant before you ever see them. Careful inspection of your plants daily will is the first place to start for successful aphid control.

Aphids come in all colours, green, red, brown and have a pear shape to their bodies. How they do their damage is by piercing the plant, then sucking the juices from it. In the process of sucking the juices from the plant, they also transmit germs which cause the leaves to turn yellow and curl up. It can also lead to distortion in the fruit.

Daily inspection of your plants will alert you early, so that you can take defensive measures against the aphids before they can colonize. You want to always check new plants prior to putting them in the floor. Once your garden is in, make daily walks, or walk through every other day to aphids have not started.

Do not put to much fertilizer out around your plants. Aphids love new expansion, and a more fertilized garden will always try to generate new growth.

A good blast of water will dislodge the aphids in the plants and they won’t have the ability to return.

The first solution is 2 tsp of this mild dish soap to a 16oz jar of warm water. This solution will coat the aphids and cause them to dehydrate. The second alternative is 3 parts warm water to 1 part vegetable oil with a few drops of dish soap included in. This solution will actually clog the respiratory ability of the aphids making them die. The vegetable oil and the soap can magnify the sun and possibly burn the leaves on your plants.

1 line of defense to help slow down aphids so that you can control them is pruning. Alot of times you may see aphid colonies. Once you find these, prune away that section and then start your spray regime. Make certain you discard the pruned segments somewhere away from your plants, This won’t kill the aphids but will greatly improve your chances of successful aphid control.
