Keepng flies and ants away from my yard?
Question:I have 4 dogs that are in my yard and whatever leftover food they have, ants eat, and I don't man a few ants, there is a ton in each bowl! So I need a non-toxic, natural, and hopefully cheap way to deter the ants from the pet bowls
Also need a remedy to keep flies away from my yard, period.
I heard of this remedy, but haven't tried it yet
Ingredients: 1/4 cup syrup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, dispense all of it into a milk carton and fill up to half with water, anyone know if this will work?
Answers:
I'm not really sure but when ever it's hot and i get ants i pour vinegar over them...and yeah because its acidic they die.
Not sure about getting rid of the flies but i've heard of these sticky strips you can stick to walls and other places, the flies will just get stuck.
ive heard of that receipe...worth a try! u could also put ant traps outside but honestly ants are going to come where there is food...and alot and there isnt much u can do to stop that...ur still going to get some. the only thing i can suggest is feed them insdie the house intead of outside and if u prefer to feed them outside...when it looks like they r done eating...pick up the leftover food rather then letting it sit out.
There is a product my dad used to deter ants. It's an organic product called Diatomaceous Earth.

I use a lawn bug killer about every 3 months Go to any lawn an garden shop It keeps the fleas down
OK those fly are going to come as long as there is food on the ground or left in the dish an yea u need to walk around the yard with a Popper scooper
maybe you should consult a proffesional extermanator?
cause i meanif you do the wrong thing then maybe you might kill your grass ...or your dogs might get hurt as well
