Ants tend to show up in large numbers on trees that offer sources of sweet food in the form of fruit; honeydew from aphids and scale; or sap from sugar maples. [1] Make sure that no branches touch the ground. This is to force ants to travel up the trunk. The trunk should be wrapped with Duct Tape, fabric tree cover, or heavy paper. On top of that layer should be sticky paper trapping. [2] Check for aphids and scale. Ants protect aphids and scale from the latter two's natural enemies. [3] So controls will have to be applied. The most environmentally-friendly choices are horticultural oils, and insecticidal soaps store-bought or homemade with soapy water. But an effective synthetic that's low in environmental toxicity is permethrin.
