I was watching ants on my grape vines yesterday. They were milking aphids that were sucking the juice from the tender, new leaves. Of course, I had to spraying the aphids with soapy water--I want my yummy grapes. So the ants will have to find a new food source.
I agree with Connie. I sprayed aphids and ants on my plum tree, I want my plums and hate busy ants.Of course they have their own life, eggs, new ants etc. but they better have all it far from my trees.
Beautifully captured! I have lots of hemerocallis, although they are almost finished flowering now, I have never seen any ants interested in them, perhaps they got other plants in my garden that are more of interest to them :-)
