They survive temperatures down to minus 28 degrees Celsius without any problems and can endure heat waves of 50 degrees. The insects are found in forests, bushes, and fields. They like shady and humid habitats as well as dry and warm open land. The garden also offers attractive conditions, but too many ants in the garden are usually perceived as a plague.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_ants_come_into_the_garden\"><\/span>Why do ants come into the garden?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reason for ant colonies in the garden is the optimal living environment. Species that settle in the garden prefer patchy vegetation forms with access to the substrate. Ants living in woods often migrate from adjacent woods into the garden. Ants, which have specialized in wood, find optimal living spaces in primitive gardens with old trees. Often the louse infestation of cultivated plants is also responsible for the settlement of an ant colony.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Be happy if ants have chosen your garden as their habitat.

In principle, the state-forming insects take over important tasks in the ecosystem. They contribute to a balance in nature. They remove waste and exterminate dead animals.<\/p>\n<p>Ants feed on insect or snail eggs and drag caterpillars into their nest to supply the brood. They are also important seed spreaders and promote the survival of various plants. Earth-dwelling ant species ensure that the ground is aerated. They counteract the soil compaction through their activities. This aspect is also beneficial in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>Ants in the food chain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Green woodpecker: eats between 3,000 and 5,000 ants per day.<\/li>\n<li>Ant lions: Larvae have specialized in ant hunting.<\/li>\n<li>Predatory bugs imitate pheromones and prey on ants on specially created ant trails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wood_Ants\"><\/span>Wood Ants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8808\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Wood-Ants.jpg\" alt=\"Wood Ants\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Wood-Ants.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Wood-Ants-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This genus includes large ants, which reach a body length of ten millimeters. The species build earth and hill nests and prefer living in the forest. Formica species belong to the omnivores and keep the forest floor clean. Hill-building forest ants enjoy special protection.

To maintain ant-free gardens, you would have to use poison. This not only causes the ant population to suffer but also has a massive impact on your health and the natural balance in the garden. If you destroy the ant colony, the symptoms will disappear for a short time. The cause remains.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_It_Is_Pointless_To_Fight_Them\"><\/span>Why It Is Pointless To Fight Them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ants are territorial. When they have found a territory, they defend it against other ant colonies and young ants. In district fights, the defenders kill immigrated ants and eat them. As soon as you intervene in these processes, the natural cycle is disturbed. The end of one colony means a new beginning for the next colony. If a building has been abandoned, new ants will migrate and colonize the garden after a short time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unsuitable_Household_Remedies\"><\/span>Unsuitable Household Remedies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Baking powder and vinegar are effective under certain conditions. In the garden, however, these products have no place. The soil absorbs the substances faster than ants do. Coffee is also a widespread means of scaring off ants. This seems to work differently and is probably due to the smell. If you scatter coffee grounds with a particularly strong smell directly onto the ants&#8217; nest, a deterrent effect is possible. However, the aromas quickly evaporate and the effect is lost.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#8ae1b7;border-radius:8px;-moz-border-radius:8px;-webkit-border-radius:8px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#a4fbd1;border-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-radius:8px;-moz-border-radius:8px;-webkit-border-radius:8px;\">Tips!

Both earth-dwelling ants and ants living above ground often feed on honeydew. If you find a nest in the bed or on the lawn, the plants are most likely affected by root lice. Above-ground nests are often found near plants where aphids live. To get rid of the ants, you should fight the cause of their occurrence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hosing down aphids with water;<\/li>\n<li>Fighting root lice with Rainfarnbr\u00fche;<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen plants with nettle liquid manure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unattractive_Habitats\"><\/span>Unattractive Habitats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Garden paths should be laid out so that they appear unattractive to ants. Basalt chippings are more suitable for the subsoil than paving sand. Seal joints are made of synthetic resin-based paving mortar.

But they show that there is something wrong with the plants. Where ants appear, lice are not far away. Earth-dwelling species feed on the honeydew that root lice secrete. Above-ground ants often aim at the secretions of aphids. Instead of fighting the ants, you should deprive them of their food source and eliminate the lice infestation.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/coffee-grounds-as-fertilizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coffee grounds<\/a> are a natural remedy that effectively repels ants. However, the method does not always work, because the coffee aroma quickly fades and not all species react equally well to the substance. If the nest in the bed is disturbing, a massive disturbance can promise help. Poke regularly into the ground with a stick until the ants find an alternative place to live. Do not eliminate ants. The insects are part of the ecosystem and cannot be eradicated in the garden<\/li>\n<li>Several species of ants come into the garden for different reasons. Forest ants stray into the human habitat when the forest is in the immediate vicinity. Many ants find optimal feeding conditions in gardens because cultivated plants are often attacked by lice. Lawns offer good habitat conditions for ants living underground. They appreciate the humid environment between patchy vegetation.<\/li>\n<li>Insects are an important part of the ecosystem. It makes no difference whether it is a garden or a forest. Ants ensure that dead organic material is decomposed. They clean up the soil and aerate the substrate by digging tunnels. Ants are an important source of food for numerous living creatures. They are eaten by woodpeckers, predatory bugs, or ant lions.<\/li>\n<li>There are tropical plants that have specialized in a correlation with ants. They provide food and habitat for insects. In return, ants protect the plants from predators. Such a symbiosis can also be observed in cherry laurel. The shrub has two glands on each leaf stalk, which give off a sugary plant sap. When the production is running at full speed in spring, the woody plants are overrun by ants. These ants protect their food suppliers by driving away plant pests.<\/li>\n<li>Dwindling light, sinking temperatures, and food shortages force ants to hibernate. To survive the frosty temperatures, they have to defecate. The loss of fluid causes the remaining body fluids to thicken and frostbite is prevented. Many ant species hibernate in different stages. Both larvae and workers and queens spend the winter in the protection of the nest. Only the forest ants spend the winter as adult insects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ants are better than their reputation because they take over important functions.
