Ant Control:
There is some debate about whether compost tea is a key ingredient in this mixture that repels ants. However, it is clear that compost tea helps restore the soil. Ant colonies can damage the root systems of plants in the immediate area of their mounds and affect the soil's pH level, which can be harmful to the beneficial microorganisms that plants rely on. While Cridder Ridder (and potentially compost tea) helps deter ants, the molasses serves as a binder, allowing the mixture to remain in the soil longer. Ultimately, the compost helps restore the bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that may have been destroyed by the ants.
