Herbs and essential oils: Herbs like thyme, cloves, cinnamon, and rosemary can deter leaf-cutter ants and drive them away from your property (and your precious plants). The same is true for essential oils like Wintergreen. Hope this helps jamie
Wow Jami, hope you get that ant situation under control real fast. Fire ants are bad, but these guys can strip every plant you got in a matter of days. Maybe put a barrier around the greenhouse as soon as possible.
Jami you need to try straight vinegar spray. Then spray where you don't want them plus go a long hill side fence & plant wild flowers & Marigolds that way maybe they will stay over there. GB y'all wishing you luck you win this war.😅😊
WOW.... I've never heard of leaf cutter ants. I have Fire Ants and am constantly treating. Their bites leave huge painful blisters on me. Thanks for sharing your discovery so we can be on the watch. I live in Central TX.
OMG, JAMI, anytime I see or hear about an influx of Ants, I swear I ALWAYS think back to one of my FAVE "TOM & JERRY" episodes where they're trying to have a BBQ/picnic and the Ants kept making off with the food.🐜🥩🐜🍞🐜🧀🐜🌭 All to the tune of a funny 🎶Doot Doot Doot Doot🎶 sound byte!😂❤

WILD!!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I've never heard of leaf cutter ants before! Fascinating to see them traveling so far but I hope you find a good fix and save your garden!! 🐜🌺🌿
Oh, Jami - I'm so sorry. I hope you guys can get this resolved asap. I wonder if your neighbors are having the same problem? Ugh! 😱 Love and hugs from Jo ❤️
That’s what happened here. We lost the trees before and by the time we treated them we lost so many. It’s very upsetting. You can’t replace those huge old trees.
Google says they frequently have satellite mounds and that their main mound is usually near a body of water. OMG So their main mound is all the down near the river with satellite mounds placed along the way. Oh this is going to be an educational adventure. I am guessing the little paths can branch out from the satellites. Gee Willikers. Good catch Jami. These little guys were in the process of annihilating your shrubs, trees and gardens.
I saw a documentary on National Geographic the other day about the Leaf Cutter Ants. The program is called Queens. The queen of the Leaf Cutter Ants is pretty amazing in of itself, but you are right, they are highly destructive! Good luck getting rid of them.
I had a terrible ant issue and had tried everything on the market. I finally had success with a product to kill the whole mound. They take it back to the nest mound and it kills them too. It’s ZORRO and I liked the flat with the bait on top. They destroyed my trees but I saved some. Dit: had I tried the ZORRO sooner I would have saved moor trees and bushes.
Add citrus rinds (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit) to a pot, then add white vinegar to cover. Gently the mixture until it's steaming, but not boiling. Turn off the stove and let the mix sit for several hours to overnight. Strain the liquid and pour it into a spray bottle, then store it in the refrigerator.
Hey Jami (Jamie) , Lester showed us those ants eating down by the birds an goats the other day . I hope they are not in the pasture y'all are trying to heal . God Bless y'all 💯 ❤ 🙏 🇺🇲
Jami, I had a big mound of fire ant and I killed the mound with 3 big pots of boiling water. Now it did kill the grass but I repeated the application a second day and……it killed those little monsters! Good luck!
We had a trail of those in our backyard several years ago. They made a trail that went catty-cornered across our whole backyard. I did what you did. I sprinkled Sevin dust heavily on them. A few days later they were back and had just moved their trail over about 3 feet and still ran across the whole lot. There were woods behind our house too. They even ran across a raised flower bed on their way. We tried several things but I never knew what got rid of them but I don't see them or a trail now.❤
3:21 did you know if you find the nest melt down approximately 10 pounds of aluminum pour it in the hole to the nest let it cool over night then dig it up clean all the dirt a crap off it makes an absolutely beautiful sculpture that's worth thousands
What about Ant Rid? We have that in Australia and use that. It’s safe to use on garden and pet friendly too. Good luck 🤞we also pour diesel or fuel down the nests when out bush areas
Hi Jami, have you tried this? Diatomaceous earth (silicon dioxide) It kills ants and other bugs by absorbing the oils in the exoskeletons, which dries them out. This kills most ants. The other thing to try is ant sand. Good luck.
Holy cow call you county extension office and see what they say about killing then without hurting your dogs !!!! Wow………… that crazy ….. little varmints! I’ve never heard of those king of ants 🐜
@@daniellewoolley8607wow lady get ahold of yourself what is she supposed to name every animal on the property just to be fair. You're the type of person that Lester would block for making for making a snotty rude comment like that like it wasn't even necessary and what's your point anyway it sounds like you're ladder doesn't go all the way to the top you know what I mean nitpicking like that
Oh Jami, I'm SO VERY sorry 😵 You have worked so hard to improve and enhance at LHL...I know this feels devastating. Prayers for your success in irradiating them!!! 🙏🙏🙏 ~Janice
Yikes!! I'm pretty sure the nest was seen by Lester on one of his recent videos he watched an ant carry a whole kernel of corn and went inside what could be the nest!! It was by the walk way to the river he could probably find it again. Goodluck!💖
Jamie just last night on on natural geographic they had a show on it's called queens and it dealt with a queen ant and a queen bee and they talk about your leaf cutters is very interesting
Ants are super frustrating. We are fighting them now. They have killed and are killing our huge beautiful trees that make the property pretty and give it shade. We kept treating and treating but so far we are not winning and have had to cut down a few of the big trees.
Hey! At first I thought your Thumbnail was a can of Breadcrumbs. I watched the video without my bifocals. Lol. But what a bizarre and serious situation those ants make. Praying you're treatments work.
I’ve heard about leaf cutter ants but thought that was strictly a jungle thing. I didn’t know we have them inside the U.S. Last week Lester made a video featuring ants. I wonder if that’s what those were too? He actually found the entrance to the nest on your property from the look of it.
There is stuff you can get that is very good from a controller. Its something you put down, and as ants cross it they carry it into the nest which wipes them out completely.
I've read up on leaf cutter ants now and these little beggars has enemies that can pick them off a lot more nature friendly than chemicals. Ant eaters for one, if you can save an ant eater it can eat out a nest of ants in no time. Some birds eat ants, among them chickens! You may have to call Cog Hill Farm for this, but Jason noted in one of his videos that the chickens actually ate a fire ant nest to extinction, so why not leaf cutter ants? A horrible way to kill an underground ant hill is to gas it, but it may harm the surrounding nature in big areas, since they have such massive nests. You may end up killing more trees and forest than the ants themselves. So I would go for chickens or ant eaters first, before trying more radical methods! The best of luck to you, Jami! ❤❤❤❤❤
This is a terrifying situation. As in all things, at least in my mind, knowledge is power. I would post a message on the neighborhood page you mentioned in earlier videos, asking if anyone else has dealt with or heard about this type destruction and how to successfully deal wiith it. I would also approach all staff in stores that sell plants re treatment that is safe around your animals. Of course Steph might have some valuable input. Posting a link to your video on the Morrow Hill] page could be beneficial re gathering information. Your County Extension office might have a treatment plan available. If there's a locall hardware store, feed store or bait shop where local old-timers hangout (and often drink coffee), I would approach them + share your video + ask for their thoughts and suggestions. (I am not being disrespectful when I say 'old-timer'. I am 73 so my age puts me in that category. Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable in this situation. Local old-timers often have wonderful nuggets of info that can be amazing.) The guy that recently explained everything with your well vs silt issue is from the area. He and many other long-term residents could also be possible sources for info re this type infestion. Of course an exterminator is an option but I presumed a less toxic approach seemed to be preferred since it wasn't mentioned. Good luck with this challenge. I have no doubt it will be dealt with in typical Jami-style. (Hopefully it will not involve anyone reppelling down the drop-off to track the path of devastion to their destination.)
What about diatomaceous earth? I use it to deter ants in Indiana. I buy it at Rural King in 50# bag and it lasts a while. I also use it in yard for fleas. Good luck!!! Hugs, Rossi
I think maybe it's time for poultry whether Lester is happy about it or not. I had an issue with something similar to termites in Missouri and my son was having asthma troubles so I got chickens, and in a matter of 3 weeks the mound and the colony was destroyed from under our mobile home.
Jamie, try baby powder and cayenne pepper that will suffocate them. Pour that all along where you pour everything else. Try it baby powder and cayenne pepper.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There must be thousands & thousands of those ants, it's an absolute army! How can an ant even walk seven miles? Simply incredible, what they've done to your garden.
Because these ants eat only the fungus they cultivate, they do not respond to most other ant baits, such as those labeled for fire ants. A special formulation of hydramethylnon, sold under the trade name Amdro® Ant Block, is currently the only widely available bait product labeled for control of leaf cutting ants.
Deltagard Granules Deltagard granules are one of the very few pesticides labeled for use against leaf cutter ants. The granules contain deltamethrin, an effective and fairly safe insecticide that targets the central nervous system of insects. Once the ants contact and absorb the chemical, their nervous system is sent into shock causing paralysis and eventually death. The granules can be spread out along the leaf cutting ant walking trails and the mounds. Then you saturate the granules with water which helps the pesticide mix with the soil and take effect. The result is certain death for ants that come into contact with the area.
We had 2 years in a row of tent caterpillars which stripped the forests and town trees and plants. The hung from trees and would drop down on you. I went nearly bonkers when that happened to me. The roads and sidewalks were slick like oil from being squashed. It makes me angry seeing those ants carrying your plants off. I hope someone can help you with a killer solution!
Holy Cow! I've never seen or had leaf cutter ants before. I know it works with some ants. Try fire ash from some of the burn piles. I think it dries them out or something like that. I know it will detour them.

Jami - Lester knows where a nest is, he made a video of them. I believe it was over near the goat paddocks.
I was coming to say this

Maybe that’s why Sadie been barking. Check there for the nest. Never know. Good luck Jami. I’m sorry about your plants🙏

Now there's a thought! Gotta wonder!
Now why would she barking at Ants 😂
@@carrie4887 brilliant question 😂
Brilliant question 😂@@carrie4887
One of Lester's videos showed him watching the ants go into their ant hill with a piece of corn.
As annoying as ants are, they are thee hardest workers I've ever seen.
Jami, I’m so sorry for you at this loss. I pray you get it resolved.
That’s what happened here. We lost the trees before and by the time we treated them we lost so many. It’s very upsetting. You can’t replace those huge old trees.
Oh Jami I’m sorry it’s something else to deal with hope you manage to find the source. Night night God Bless. 🙏💕
Lester was admiring ants carrying food into the ground a couple of videos ago. Maybe that’s their home.
Oh my gosh Jami, I have had leaf cutter bees but they were not as disastrous as these ants. That is outrageous, i hope it gets resolved.
Oh no Jami!! I’m so sorry. It is one thing after another there. 😢❤
I’m in Texas and I think we have those too. How do you clear them from an 11 acre property??? Omg.
That was crazy following their path and several hauling away your plants. Hope you can get it figured out soon.
That is crazy ! I have never seen anything like these ants. I can’t believe they actually have a path that is visible!!! The craziness never stops !.,
Wow those ants are determined. Good luck and I hope that you can get rid of them quickly. God bless

I have seen that done and they are amazing but, it is a LOT of hard work digging it out and you have to have a really hot flame to melt the aluminum.
Wow! I didnt realize Texas has those. I hope you get rid of them soon. Sad about the tree/plant
Omgoodness Jami, that so sucks!!! I hope you can get it all under control ❤💛💚🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry Jami. I really hate bugs!

That's right, Lester may have seen the nest the other day when he was watching ants. He had it on a video!
Try instant grits. Sprinkle them around the nest or trail. When the ants take them back to the Queen, and she eats them, she dies.
Are you talking about hominy grits????😮
We had 2 years in a row of tent caterpillars which stripped the forests and town trees and plants. The hung from trees and would drop down on you. I went nearly bonkers when that happened to me. The roads and sidewalks were slick like oil from being squashed.
