The strange thing is now i rarely see hills of ants.They are using the compost in my beds and living in them.They only seem to lay eggs under the rocks.I have noticed where i see worm castings poking up through the pea gravel,there's more ants.The worms are good they save me from buying fertilizer and replenish the soil but ants will kill them fast.The soil drains fast enough i don't even notice hills around the beds after a rain,as we usually do in other places.
Lynn,you are correct i wear gloves but them little suckers will get in them before you know your in ants.I have them in 2 beds that have the same forest compost.I think it started with termites in the rotting wood,i put the compost out and ants found the termites then decided not to leave!!
