Your best bet is something repellant & lime is natural. It may/may not work as a stomach poison (like boric acid) but will not keep them away.Also, there are appearance issues. There are household products that will work (ants have a keen sense of smell) but may harm the tree. Your best bet is a pesticide, bait to draw them away or ECOPCOARX-avail. in a spray can is 100% natural, fast-acting, provides a residual & is readily available.
