Special Species Note ....
Ants in your garden do not damage your plants directly, but
they are very fond of the sweet honeydew produced by Scales,
Mealy bugs and especially Aphids. They actually herd them
from plant to plant and encourage greater honeydew
production. Ants also defend their captive herds against the
natural predators you introduce. It is important to control ants
where "Hired Bugs" are being used.
Unfortunately, there are not any "ant-eating" bugs available.
We’ve had the best results controlling ants by using
Diatomaceous Earth. It is very effective, providing it stays
dry.
