Default Re: Ants On Basjoo

The ants are probably exploring the new feature in their yard. A light spraying of Sevin on the plant and the ground you disturbed will kill those present on contact and the others are likely to avoid the area for awhile.

If in the future when you use up your bottle of Sevin, consider replacing it with an economically priced bottle of Pyrethrin-based pesticide (per cost and dosage), or Bayer Powerforce with Cyfluthrin (a synthetic pyrethrin).
