I have an ant infestation and was wondering the best organic remedy to help with these pesky, little leaf eating S.O.B's. Thanks

Nothing, eh?

diatomaceous earth. do a search on google and buy some of it.

I am guessing you'd sprinkle this on the topsoil as it reads in Wiki it helps filtration? Very cool and thanks for the help, I just purchased some online hopefully it makes it here in time as these ants are eating evertthing from fan leaves to the new growth.~~~Dude

you might also try a little nicotine tea. All you do is take a few cig butts and soak them in warm water for a couple of hours and spray your plant with it. The nicotine will disapate in a few hours, won't hurt your plant. If they make it past the first line of defense this will kill them as they eat the plant. It is organic, I try and use the tobacco leaves but they are getting harder to find these days.....Good Luck I had a time with them this year also.

what do you have da' aphids or the catapillers or somthing else? check into neem oil,or water with a drop of dawn.i just give them my best mean face, and they bolt right then.d rather release 1000's of ladybugs in my house than live with aphids,i hate those fuckers.

I'm all natural under the sun dude, I have a red ant infestation and purchased diatomaceous earth, stuff sounds pretty legit.

I'm also going to try the nicotine oil canefan suggested, I don't really want to mess around with these ants as they are very destructive.

Thanks guys for helping me keep my grow organic~~~ dude
