My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

ants on maple trees

18 years ago

Hello all,

I have two grown maple trees that I just discovered to be infested with ants. Ants seem to be crawling up and down the tree constantly. But the trees look healthy otherwise; should I be worried and should I be killing the ants? Thanks!
