🐜 Why Are Ants in My Plant Pots?
Before we tackle the solution, let’s understand the problem. Ants are attracted to your plant pots for several reasons:
Moist Soil: They love damp environments for building nests.
Sweet Substances: Ants may be farming aphids, which secrete a sweet substance called honeydew.
Food Crumbs or Fertilizers: If you use organic fertilizers or there are food particles nearby, ants may be drawn in.
Shelter: Pots offer warmth and protection, making them ideal for nesting.
It’s important to note: Ants themselves aren’t always harmful to plants, but their presence often indicates other issues, like sap-sucking pests. Plus, their tunneling can disturb roots and soil structure.
