I have some unruly, huge plants in my garden that I hated and wanted to get rid of, so, this spring, I stomped them all down and covered them with newspapers and bricks. it has worked for the most part (still going to have to work on the lovage which pushes the bricks over and gets through) but I pulled up a corner of newspaper to see how it was going and there was (is) a major ant infestation. Thousands of them. It's a little scary. I think I traded one problem for another.
My question is - does anyone know what kind of environment ants like?? I thought the didn't like too much water but it's really wet in the garden and they are obviously thriving.
Also, if anyone has any ideas about getting rid of ants i'm all ears.
thx.
