Title: Karen Sutherland
In Dominica, we have ants everywhere this year too and in wildly
separate locations (primary mountainside farm site: cooler and wetter
and on large garden site 5 km away in hotter-drier coastal location).
Aphids not the only problem. Also ant nests at roots of plants
destroying the plants. Biting ants in such profusion on fruit trees
that we were unable to pick. So many (and so irritable) biting ant
nests in ground that standing/working most anywhere problematic. Ant
nests, as Barb found, in all kinds of unexpected and bizarre places.
At least 4 different types (probably more) way out of whack. DE
ineffective. Any organic control suggestions would be so welcome. I wonder what used to control their numbers that are now missing or not effective. Best wishes to all, Karen Roots Farm Organic
