How to Control Ants in Potted Flowers
Termites and ants are harmful to potted plants. They both dry up and damage the root system of the plants, causing the plants to weaken their ability to absorb and transport nutrients, water, and eventually lead to poor plant growth, wilting and even death. Several methods for preventing ant damage are introduced.
