How should i take care of my ant problem. My lemon tree is starting to grow a lot of buds and i’ve noticed that there are now a bunch of ants on the buds. i used isopropyl 70% rubbing alcohol cause i heard you can use that. i’m going to buy some neem oil as well cause i heard that it’s better for your lemon tree. does anyone have any more suggestions?
I would try Neem!

Depends on what you buy but you’ll likely want to dilute.

You can follow the ants back to the mound and use ant powder/granules on the mound. The ants treat it as food and takes it into the mound. The mound dies in about one day. There are also ant traps you can put near the plant.
