I have ants in my grow room and not in my pants :laughing: Small tiny ones, they dont seem to be bothering my plants. Should i worry? i think they are just eating any plants food on the floor that is left over - there isnt anything visible.

Just checking...

Gotta get ant traps... These seemingly innocuous but industrious buggahs "Farm" other bugs like aphids.. They actually carry them on their back, into the grow space, and let the aphids go to work eating, leaving "Honeydew" behind in their fecal matter, which the Ants happily return to for meals....

Kill them today, they will ruin your grow room.They will bring in , as said above other insects that they use like cattle and move into your medium and then you have spider mites, thrips, leaf miners and big problems.I just went through this, wait a minute I have the name...Terro brand liquid ant baits will kill every one of them.Yeast mixed with coca-cola in a little cup they can get into and eat will kill them but not the nest, the liquid traps work the best and anytime I see an ant I lay a new one out.If you use coco fiber in your mix they will move into that as well and set up shop no matter how much water you pour on them.Do not wait...Good luck, Chaco, aka Lilly456.:joint::joint: I bought the liquid ant baits at Ace hardware.
