How Do You Kill Large Red Ants Around Fruit Trees?
It is difficult to kill large red ants without using poison. If you have a problem with red ants around fruit trees, this can be even more challenging, since putting chemicals or toxins into the ground could damage or threaten your fruit trees. But if you have a little patience, you can drive out the ant colony around your fruit trees within a week. Locate any large red anthills by your fruit trees. Dip your finger into vegetable or canola oil, and rub it around the inside lip of your glass jars, as well as at least 2 inches down into the jar, all the way around. Poke a large stick into the center of the anthills. Stir the area to agitate the ants. The goal is to upset them. Set the glass jars right side up directly in the middle of each anthill. Come back in a half hour. The red ants should climb up the side of the jars to attack the jars and will fall in after slipping on the vegetable or canola oil. They will become stuck in the bottom of the jar, unable to get out. Get rid of them
