| Orange oil mixed with molasses and soap in enough water to drench the pot works every time its all I use in the garden. here's a link to the recipe and a little more information. |

| I use soapy water to kill them , then drench the pot to get the soap out. Often though they are living in the ground below the pot so you may have to move it and then Use Amdro or something to get them. |

| The orange oil work with any ant it comes in contact with. It is great to use in the house as its an excellent decreaser / cleaner and it smells great. I also use it against wasp nests and it knocks them down fast. |
