YUK Stitz, that makes my skin crawl. LOL Been there, done that. I found that they don't drown, they just go off and inhabit another plant. I wouldn't mind ants so much but I believe the thrips I find devouring my buds are farmed by the ants. Any good 'natural' remedies for driving them away other than a flood or poison?

I will prepare a dish detergent solution tomorrow morning. That's been effective most of the time in Years Gone By.

If that doesn't work, it's only a 3" pot of a backbulb division. A "quickie" drench of alcohol will kill 'em, deader 'n a doornail!!

ps, I agree that foto DOES make one's skin crawl!!!
