I had a huge amount of ants on it, and I was told that the ants bring up some acarus that sucked the tree... well, I don't know, but they were not friendly and had to die... __________________ Jose Alberto Franco Guatemala Central America http://www.doschivos.com

Posts: 134	Re: A day swimming and good bye ants A lot of the time ants are a sign of aphids. The sticky residue that the aphids leave behind is ambrosia to ants. I'd check under the leaves very closely. Of course, If the ants are just living in the dirt, then yes, they must die. Capt. Jack
