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.
