Reply To: Ants

[Freed]

We have light sandy soil so ants are always present in abundance. Luckily we don’t have any problems with them except in the greenhouse where they nest under the tiled path. Washing down with water regularly helps but if they persist to the flying ant stage we have to leave the top vents and louvre wide open to let them out. Sparrows are attracted to them when the flying ants emerge but as long as they can get out again it’s not too much of a problem. I prefer not to kill things unless necessary. Not keen on them running up my legs though!
