Do ants eat aphids? B/C I have a ton of them crawling around my
plants this year and I know I have aphids. I can’t get rid of them. I
sprayed before there were plants out there and I have sprayed several times
since they have shown up on the plants. I am organic and I use something
called Organicide. I am just besides myself right now as I don’t know
how to get rid of them. By seeing the ants crawling around the plants, I was
hoping that they were eating the ants??? Do they do that? Can someone please
help me????? I want to stay organic but this is the 3rd year I have
been battling these damn aphids. I don’t know what to do anymore. Thanks Courtney Herb Thyme Middlefield, Oh I've noticed in the past that having ants in a greenhouse seems
to exacerbate aphid problems (probably since the ants are moving the aphids
around and spreading them out). That hasn't been a problem for us this year -- seems like we had enough ladybugs to keep down the aphids --
but it is something I'd like to be more proactive about in the future. Anyone
have a favorite method for dealing with greenhouse ants? Ken Bezilla Acorn Community Farm Mineral, VA |
