ANTS IN MY PANTS!!!
 
OK, they aren't really in my pants :rofl:
But they have taken up residence in my orchids. I have heard about so many different ways to get rid of them, but I need a method of something I can just soak them with. I don't want to repot as I just did that, and dont want to shock them again. preferably something non toxic but will consider it if it WORKS quick.

So just something I can make in a bucket and pour into media to get rid of the lil buggers....

Big thanks fellow orchid lovers.:waving

I know you can mix a 500 ml bottle of rubbing alcohol with two tablespoons of dish soap for most insects... I'm not sure about ants and I guess that wouldn't work very well if you wanted to pour it in each orchid... since that would require A LOT! ...so I'm waiting for an answer as well :D
