Hello all I just joined and i am very interested in discussing organic Gardening and lawn care. I have 2 children who have been raised organically from birth. We are now trying to expand our gardening to incorperate new vegetables. We have a severe infestation of red ants on our property. They are the common red ant and not fire ants. My kids cannot even play in the yard with out getting bit. I don't want to kill them as I know they are beneficial but I would like to drive them away from the play areas. Does any body have any suggestions.

Here are some suggestions:
