Eco-Friendly Gardening question

[akosua]

Greetings,


Happy Earth Day.
My eco-friendly question for the day is what is the name
of a product that is chrysanthemum based that is used to
reduce the amount of ants in the garden and in the home.

Anyone knows? I need to purchase some, and the local
gardens choose not to carry it in Middlesex County.

Thanks

Hi,
I think the product you're looking for is pyrethrum.
