I have a orange tree less the a year old in a pot out side but now huge ants have infested the dirt. How do I kill the ants without hurting the tree?

At any department store you can buy what is called TURO. It comes in a thick clear liquid, be careful this stuff will leak through the skin. what you do is get a small plastic container after discovering where they ants are coming from. Place the plastic container in the path of the ants. They will carry this back to the nest and with a couple of days no more ants. However you MUST remember this stuff is highly toxic to animals AND humans, do not get it on your skin or injest this stuff, keep all animals away from it. It will in no way harm your plant and your plant will not absorb the poison cause your placing the dish on the ant path and away from the plant. Hope this works for you as it did with my apple trees.

Put a bunch of ground cinnamon around the pot, and a little in the pot,it's natural, it gets rid of ants, and works wonders.
Plus,it wont hurt your tree.

Keep the tree watered at all times. The ants will realize this place is wet and they will move somewhere else. I did this with several of my plants, and it worked pretty good.

No...orange chicken does not come from orange trees. It comes from slaughtered animals...

I heard nutmeg will get rid of ants, naturally. We put ground nutmeg in our door frame and it helps.
