Hi,
I wasn't sure in which space I can ask this question, so I will give it a try here and hope to get help from this community!
We have an allotment garden since last fall and are really happy with it. But since a few months there are more and more red ants (myrmica rubra if I identified them correctly). They are nearly everywhere, leaving no space to sit and relax without being bitten by the ants. I would like to have a place for these ants in my garden, but now it really seems out of balance.
I tried to scare them away with union, garlic, coffee, but they didn't bother. Of course I don't want to use insecticides. What else can I try/do? Looking forward to any tips and advice!
