Hello! Last summer I got my first hoya blooms!! So happy - but then ANTS. They also loved the blooms! Does anyone have advice to keep the ants out of my house and away from the sweet blooms?!

I treat the ant nests in the yard with pesticide granules that they eat. Kills the nest within 24 hours or less. I will spray the entry location inside the room with ant spray. That is likely at the kitchen baseboards for me.
