[AG] Ants in Vegetable Garden

[Linda Guy]

I shouldn't have thought that ants would be the culprit if your vegetation is being devoured. Ant biology and methods of
control is discussed at
http://ag.arizona.edu/maricopa/garden/html/t-tips/bugs/ant.htm
There are several ideas that you can try before resorting to sprays or pellets.

What concerns me is the identification of what IS eating your crops. Check out the plant diagnasotic section of our
Timely Tips column for July, to see if any of the many situations cited apply to your vegetable patch.

Good luck!
