Asked on 5 Jun, 2008
So does anyone have a safe solution to getting rid of ants in my garden? THey are only on one side of it. I looked at my cantalope and a stem is chewed off and all the leaves are eating through. My lettuce is on that side and the same thing, leaves chewed through. Then I saw them the black/reddish ants. Anyone have any advice?

Hubby found a few nests of what he called 'ginger ants' They had made their homes in the lawn. I know it was cruel, but I remember my mum used to pour boiling water on iants' nests. So I suggested it.....ouch. It's singed the lawn in patches but the ants have gone!
