ants in portulaca

Question

I have Portulaca in a hanging basket and ants are all in them. How can I make them go away forever? They seem to be mostly in the middle of the flowers but some are in the dirt and on the vines.

Answer 1

Your plant could have ants due to an infestation. Neem Oil can be used to help with insects and it also works as an fungicide.
