Sprinkle some corn meal around the base of the tree & put a flat dish of water near the tree. The ants will eat the corn meal & get thirsty & drink the water & explode.

When it comes to the annual ant invasion I have tried almost everything to keep those little suckers away. What finally worked for me was an old simple organic measure. What kept ants away for me was as easy as peeling a cumber and lying the rinds all along my brick wall and threshold. Worked great. But also sure fire way that also works GREAT is scribble chalk also along areas where they enter. The chalk dust gets on their legs and prevents movement, in that they learn overnight not to enter into your home. Good Luck but with this advice you no longer need luck you need chalk.

Here in the south, grits are a pantry staple. As soon as I see an ant bed, I sprinkle a few grits around and within a coupe of days the nest is empty.
