How to get rid of ants from eating my thyme


Question Posted Monday June 15 2009, 2:07 am

I planted a lemon thyme 4 weeks ago in a large flower pot. I watered them a while ago and suddenly hundreds of ants climbed up to my plant and, I think, are eating it!

Please help! How do I get rid of those pests? Ants totally freak me out and I don't want them eating my thyme plant!

Go to your local garden store.


I work at a garden center near my house, and just yesterday I helped somebody find a product for ants in their garden. The exact name of the product escapes me, but it was sometime by Bayer, if that helps.

Try sprinkling some red pepper (powder, preferably, but at least crushed) on and around the plants.
