Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of them.
I have tried blood meal, moth balls, plastic wire, and human hair.
And this year…..they are back again digging up.
Thanks

The best deterrent is to keep your lawn neatly mowed – snakes love tall grass. You can also try wormwood, rosemary, marigold, bay leaves, comfrey, cinnamon, cloves, and garlic.

Some folks have reported success pouring boiling water directly into the ant hill. We’ve also heard of people pouring club soda into the ant hill. This will suffocate the ants without damaging the grass.

I don’t want to use harmful chemicals. Any suggestions other than salting the earth which is somewhat counter productive?

The most well known ones are Dogwood, Blackberry, and Snowball.
Do you have them in the order that they bloom?
Thanks
