I read about ammonia on the Internet and decided to try it. After all, it is used as a top dressing, which means there will be no harm from it. She put a rag with good absorbency on an anthill and watered with ammonia. After that, closed it with polyethylene. The effect is noticed on the third day. Until today, there is not a single ant in the greenhouse. I advise everyone.
