Do they "steal" small seeds?
 
I planted in started TP & a few in peat cups.
 
Everything that was a small seed didn't come up.  
Larger seeds about 80% sprouted.
 
I found an ant tunnel underneath on of the trays of seeds in the cold frame, 
so wondering if they steal small seeds....

And this, I will submit, is surely a measure of homesteading success.
Underlying our homesteading philosophies (excepting escapism and suvivalism) 
is
independence and self-reliance.   With the world at large teetering as it is 
and
the homesteader does not see it affecting them, then does that not mean they
have been successful?!
