  I understand that the ants itself are not damaging plants . Ants start aphids colony for a food source and the aphids are doing the damage to the plants , so yes it&apos;s important to control ant population to protect plants . I always appreciate your pleasant videos for many years now.

  For me, my large garden some days can be very overwhelming the way each plant is truly different to take care of. BUT watching your videos have taught me to just calm down, learn something new every day and do the best I can. :) Thank you for taking the time to make all these very very informative videos.

  I made 3 of these. The ants swarmed all over the jars. 3 days later, the jars were dry, but still some peanut butter. I refilled them again. A very noticeable difference in the amount of ants already. I will keep it up at least once a week.

  Thanks so much for posting this! I have tons of ants all over my property and its a struggle every year trying to control them without using a ton of chemicals that will hurt my dogs. &nbsp;I&apos;m gonna make a bunch of these and put them all over my yard, flower beds and garden.

  I followed your advice and I have &nbsp;got &nbsp;hundreds of ants coming out of the holes to the baits. &nbsp;It is working and more ants keep coming. &nbsp;Thank you so much!

  thank you! I will be trying this right away. We have ants farming ahids in our greenhouses. It’s a constant battle on my chilli pepper plants so frustrating.
