Yes, I agree that they were ants. This is how I got rid, after my initial hot water, which killed many but not all by any means. I mixed equal parts of baking soda and sugar and sprinkled it on both sides of my Trug were there was the most activity. Than I sprinkled a little bit of cinnamon around the entire bed (not a lot, just a dusting) and I swear, they were gone!
It's amazing when you can use everyday none pesticide things in the garden
