Ants in pots
Ants in pots
Question from Sue Redfearn
1180 1
Most of the plants in my garden are in pots and this spring I have already found 2 pots with red ants and another with black ants.
I was checking one pot to see if the plant needed a bigger pot and found the black ants. The root system of the plant seems to have been separated - there is a healthy root system below the plant, then just soil, and another lot of roots at the base of the pots.
Do the ants munch through the roots, do they do any other damage? The plant itself looks healthy enough.
