Step 3 – Place the Peels:
Lay the banana pieces skin-side down along the ant paths or problem areas.
Step 4 – Replace as Needed:
Check the peels every day or two. Replace dried or decomposed pieces to maintain their effectiveness.
Step 5 – Dispose Naturally:
Once the ants are gone, compost the used peels — they’re excellent for enriching garden soil.
