Do I need to worry about this?!
I lifted up some pots to move them round today and discovered loads of little ants scurrying around (and away, as soon as they realised I'd spotted them).
In my last garden I was the Mad Snail Lady, regularly disposing of the entire snail population of southern England, which met up in my garden most evenings, despite stiff competition from frogs, thrushes and hedgehogs. Ants, however, obviously lived somewhere else - perhaps in my present garden - so I'm not sure whether I should be getting out my flamethrower and putting on my Xena, Warrior Princess outfit or not (to get rid of the ants, you understand).
Will they munch their way through my stuff? If so, how do I get rid of them?
