Hello CP people,
This is the first time I've posted any E-mail on any list. If
this works then, if anyone is interested, I may introduce myself
properly.
Here's my question. My greenhouse is being invaded with ants
and I'm not sure who benefits the most; the plants or the ants. The
ants obviously are after the sugary fluid but the plants are making a
killing. The Sarrencenia especially are filling up with ant bodies and
the smaller VTP's have many traps shut. Is there any chance the ants
could introduce unwanted pests or diseases ? Should I watch nature
take its course or use chemical warfare on the ants ?
