Yeah mines full of em and don't seem to do any harm.
But they are making a nuisance of themselves in otherparts of the garden,Any ideas of organic control would be helpful.The greatness comes not when things go always good for you,but the greatness comes when you are really tested,when you take,some knocks,some disappointments;because only if youv'e been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.

We have huge red ants (wood ants maybe?) all over one of our plots. When they bite you it's like a wasp sting!
I've read (on here I think) that semolina will kill them... you put it down in little piles, the workers carry it back to the nest and feed it to the queen. It blows up in her stomach and kills her, which means no more baby ants, so the colony dies out.
I'm trying this now but it's too early to say if it's working - does anyone else know of this technique?Resistance is fertile
