We've got ants in our greenhouse. And we can't wait for them to take to the skies every year, because they make it almost impossible to stay in the greenhouse for more than a minute, on account of the way they crawl up our legs and into our pants.

And now it is heaving with ant's. The birds are loving it. But im not sure if it's any good for the compost? Doe's anybody know if it's good for compost or not?
I'll be on the look out for the day they take to the skies, never heard of this.
my sister has an old tree stump that she rests her birdbath on,for the past 3 weeks some kind of insect [we think] has invaded the stump.
they very much look like flying ant they move in and out very quick,also there is sawdust everywhere around the stump....
has anyone got any ideas???
we have looked on-line to see what it could possible be,
i thought it might be woodworm or perhaps a flying ants nest but we dont think so as ants nest go after a few days or up to a week [well thats what we've been told]....
ive looked up about dead wood bettle! [not that either].
HELP..
thank you.
