Ants are increasingly numerous around where I live. I'm talking about the tiny red ones that sometimes come into the house, maybe they're called Sugar Ants but I'm not sure. They will destroy Brassica starts if left unchecked. I have been vigilant this year and sure enough they began their mischief attacking my Collards and Kale roots. So I'm killing them in that part of the veg garden.
I have also noticed them in a couple of semps, as you can see below. The tell-tale mounds of fine soil have alerted me to their activities. Need I worry? The fact that they set up shop right underneath each plant seems like trouble to me. Anybody else with these issue? I don't know if these ants are for killing or if I should just live and let live.
