Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

  • Hi Any, We live in Northwest San Antonio and we have a lot of small ants in the yard, and the last few years these ants climb my veggie plants and take over. I guess they suck the plant juice. It has put me off gardening because I don't know how to control them. I see them all over the neighborhood and we even find them in the house. What would you recommend to treat these ants in the garden without poisoning our food in the process? They are not fire ants. In fact, all our fire ants disappeared. Thank you.

    Anti Fuego, Garden-Ville Organic Insecticide


    You can use Organic Insect Control mixed at a rate of 1 ounce of product per 10 ounces of water, spray the plants and soil to get rid of the ants. Another option is the  Anti Fuego Soil Conditioner that you can spray at a rate of 4 ounces per gallon of water on the plants and soil. The Anti Fuego was designed as a soil conditioner and over the years we have had customers tell us that it helps with insect control on their plants.
