Killing ants?


Question:How does mixing water and dish washing soap and putting a drop on an ant kill it? Please be descriptive and try it. My brother asked me.

Answers:
good question...I guess it's poisonous to it. my foot squashing it also works.


It's not just any dish soap, it's specifically the dark green dish liquid such as Palmolive original, and yes it is poisonous for many insects, aphids, beetles etc. It's a safe, effective way to protect plants from little pests.
