Ants nest in soil near their food source. Ants are useful predators that feed on termites, caterpillars and fleas. In the yard and garden, however, ants give refuge to destructive honeydew-producing insects, including whiteflies, mealybugs and aphids. Protect your property from these pests by growing outdoor plants that repel ants. Grow mint, tansy, common yarrow and garlic in your yard and alongside your foundation to stop ants from invading your home. Their scent can repel ants or disguise the odors that attract them.
Cutworms, aphids, and flea beetles are common pests of the pepper plant. Spray plants with a heavy shot of water to knock off aphids or use an organic insecticide, like neem oil. Worms or caterpillars should be picked off plants and thrown away. It is a good idea to check plants daily for pests.mage by TennesseePhotographer. By Susan Patterson, Master Gardener.
