Lost Coast Plant Therapy, spray and pray, lol.

Ants usually mean another bug is present.

Spray should take care of both and safe for pets and bees.

Ants farm aphids so have a look at your leaves too. Make sure there’s not a few more hitch hikers. :wink:

Id be looking for aphids. Ants dont typically bore holes and live on pot plants. Lost coast plant therepy is a good organic bug killer. I just finished a bottle a week or two ago. I like purecrop1 and Dr Zymes eliminator. I also have some Captain jacks dead bug but hardly use it anymore. It doesn’t kill what I need it to kill. Its good stuff but it doesn’t do anything to russet mites. It kills spider mites and thrips and fungus gnats. I hear it doesn’t work that well on aphids.
