Iloveants, I've been battling the ants which invade all my container plants, presumably attracted to the moisture. At least watering seems to bring them back in droves. I read your response asking why kill the ants a couple days ago. Ever since, a question has been burning in my head...DO the ants hurt the plants? And I'd like to know if there are any benefits to their being there? Because I'm certainly NOT winning this war with them! And when I disrupt them they just come into my house Thumbs down I'd rather they stay outside-as long as I know they're not hurting my plants. Can you help with an answer, please?
Thank you very much! Thank You!
