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.

Another 'Ant' post

19 years ago

So...

Are ants GOOD for the garden or BAD for the garden?

What are the benefits and drawbacks of ants?

Last year I ant-baited them all and killed them.

This year I've let them run free and nothing seems to be much different (other than I have to dodge trails of ants).

Do they eat bugs? Do they eat plants?
