I can't believe how many ants there are this year! It's not unusual to come across 1 or 2 anthills in the yard or garden each year, but I've already found 7 pretty large ones! Some of the ants are black, some tiny red ones and some medium sized red ones. The hills are about 12-18" across, and in my perennial garden they almost covered one of my plants as it was coming up this year as the hill was about 6" high. I usually don't have a problem with them, but not happy about it this year.
