Ants?

Hello... Normally I place ant bait traps out for ants especially by my doors to stop them getting into the kitchen, and even this wet weather has not perturbed them as they are coming in their hundreds and attempting to get into the house! But by ThePotsmith

Ants in my greenhouse

that ants have got in and displaced it. A good soaking can discourage them, or sprinkle ant poison granules under the pot and don't let a pot stand in the same place too long. They can also farm aphids on plants but that is easier to spot than nests in pots by Iris Lefroy

Ants

This year my compost heap has masses of red and flying ants. I have never had this problem before. Is it a problem (I don't look forward to turning it)? Is there anything i can do about it or should it be ignored? It is probably too dry -wet it by Madeleine51

Ants?

No, it's not ants, but lily beetles. Look out for bright scarlet beetles and squash them. Their young look a bit like bird droppings as they cover themselves in their own excrement - have a good look for these and wipe them off. Yes if they lay eggs by Jon Topping

Will red ant colony damage my potato crop?

I was over at the allotment today, and whilst covering the first leaves of the potato crop (Maris Bard) I came across a large red ant colony. It's our first year on the allotment and we're trying to learn fast! Will these ants damage the crop? If so by Pepe2509
