Hey errybody! Well i have a serious bug problem. About 4 weeks ago, i planted 2 baby plants in a nice spot in a forest near my house. I just realized theres a serious bug problem. I went in today to plant 2 more babies, and i just got attacked, like i cant even feel my legs right now.
Please someone help me out! Should i transplant them to somewhere else, problem is thats the best spot i can think of near my house? HELP

Red ant, fire ant, piss ant, name changes on locations, usually have a mound colony. This is how they swarm attack. Not to often (assuming your not in a jungle) that you won't where they're located. You probably inadvertently step on a mound and got swarmed. Look around the grow area to try to find and destroy the colony. Without doing so, insectides aren't going to do much good. Saturate the mounds with spray of your choice. My outdoor bug control of choice is in a blue bottle from "bayer".

Neem is a natural and cheap and also very effective product that kills insects, mold and other fungi and can even help with odor issues. It is nontoxic to mammals, so you and your pets are safe. It has an ancient history of use, as it is one of the 5 sacred Ayurvedic plants used to make Soma by the ancient Hindu people.

they will keep spidermites off plants... if you leave them they won't hurt weed... opposite..no other bugs will be there...and feed them in rain...less ants.

But ive tried so much pestisides and nothing is working, Is it alright if i just keep the plants there. I think there are too many ants to kill

AMDRO will do the job.

Made for fire ants, but will work on regular ants. It targets the queen in the mound. She dies, they all die.
