bronte Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 I know the ant problem has been discussed in previous posts extensively, being a common problem for our gardens. Does anyone know if Tree Tanglefoot is available anywhere locally- or even in Home Depot. I have an orange tree that the pests like to invade at nights. Already tried Patron and Trompa pellets with moderate success, but I believe Tanglefoot ( a sticky tape that goes round the bark at the base prevents ants from ascending.).Any suggestions- most appreciated.

Dan Hodge Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Diatomaceous earth, which is available in Chapala and probably in Ajijic, sprinkled liberally around the base, is a good deterrent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Aurora Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 We use the sticky roll out strips for flies.Maybe they would work for hormigas also.A couple strips wraped around the base os the tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalGal Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Diatomaceous earth is available at the Garden Center in Riberas. Just East a few doors from the 7/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
