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.
Ants cannot be successfully deterred from a strawberry plant if it is infested with honeydew-producing aphids. These tiny, soft-bodied sap-feeding insects pierce the cells of strawberry leaves and suck out the juices. They then metabolize them and excrete a sticky substance called honeydew.
