Re: HELP! I have ants in my plants!!
I currently have the same problem with some of my potted plants. All
the pots without a base underneath to hold the excess water have ants.
All the pots with a base, don't. I suspect that forcing the ants to
cross a moat to get in and out the pots will encourage them to move
elsewhere.
