Any tips for getting rid of ants in a polytunnel? Keeping it well watered doesn't seem to be helping. Too many to ignore... 🐜🐜🐜

@tamsin We tried all sorts of things and nothing worked, but in the end it's lots of water around the trail and keep squishing them and leave the bodies.

If you have chillies leave some to soak in hot water for 24Hrs and make a spray, they don't like that.

But get rid of the aphids first then you will start to win.

Failing that a shotgun may work.

@flakyfred digging up the path and repeatedly flooding it seems to have encouraged them to move on!
