Is it okay for the ants in my landscape beds? A few?
I realized that I was brushing back padding and the floor in my bed to paint the blocks of my foundation walls, which have a considerable number of ants. It also recently lost two smaller plants near this area? I think the ants that help aerate the soil, but Im not sure.
I had the same problem. I read over and over again that the ants not a problem as you said help aerate the soil. Finally I found something that said that the ants can tunnel of land too far around the roots of smaller plants, killing them. Ive also read that termites ants tunnels are used, it would be a concern that are its foundation. I sugar mixed with 5% borax (a pot plant mouth down over the top with a brick in it, to keep pets away). In about three weeks the ants were gone. I do not go around killing every ant in my garden, the ants have their place in the ecosystem. But in that bed in particular could not get any flowering plant until he took over the colony.
