i have a money tree, an indoor plant?, and the ants have come in and raided the pot, can they harm the plant and would it be okay to set the pot outside if the ants are harmless? It is a ‘tree’…
silly me i’ve tried the blasted cinnamon powder the bouncer recommended, now will that harm the plant too….
okay, not a dumb move to apply the cinnamon, found a website that says:
Repellents: Ants can be repelled by vinegar, cayenne pepper, citric extracts, bone meal, cinnamon, cream of tartar, salt, and perfume. You will have to keep trying different repellents to find the one your ants aren’t willing to tolerate. Place lines of the selected repellent at points of entry and at various points along their path.
