Im trying to grow tomatoes but there are ants in the soil and they are driving me nuts, I dont think they are doing any damage but how do I get rid of them?

You might want to try Turkish Bay Leaves. They can be found in the spice section of your grocery store. Sounds weird, but they seem to work wonders for keeping ants away.

Try sprinkling cinnamon on and around your tomatoes. Ants hate cinnamon...

I would just use my hose and water the little fellows off the plants as I do not think ants like water at all.Borax sprinkled on the ground also gets rid of them as they will not go onto it.
