I got some loofah seeds from a local garden club last year and planted them this year. There are a lot of fireants hanging at the flowers and flower buds area. I checked and checked and checked, there were no aphids. So what are the fireants eating? How do I get rid of them, if there is a way? I think the loofah plants are not very affected, I still get full size loofahs, but a few are stunted by the fireants I think.
