Ok so my seedlings are doing fine but lately Iv been noticing normal red ants ( not the FIERCE red ants,but normal household red ants) in my grow room and around my cups of coco coir..Iv even seen them go in the cups ( 8oz cups filled with coco coir/perlite)...through the bottom holes..
Ive read that the ants will nest in the medium,and all this activity can harm the roots..is this true..what effects will the ants have on my young seedlings?..
and if they are bad,how can I get rid of them..will flodding the coco coir drown them?..Iv though about putting the cups in some type of container filled with water,as this will drown ants coming out,and ants trying to get in..wil this work??!
