Does anyone know of an easy, cheap (cos its gonnna get washed away) and preferably organic way to repel ants away from my shade house. They seem to be everywhere. The only casualties so far are my one mounted oncidium (equitant, i think), which the ants infested with mieliebug, and two small pots of annuals.

The annuals migrated to the bin but the onc is fine at this time.

The ants also seem to be attracted to my spikes and flowers.

So, does anyone have a solution?

Thanks.
