Your nibbled carrots sounds like carrot root fly problems. Peg (a twig
slightly split with a knife) up a few pieces of fly catcher (the yellow
ones for greenhouses) just clear of the ground near the carrots and see
what is caught. Carrot root fly are supposed to be stopped by low
barriers so how are they getting on to a raised bed: have you installed
stairs?!!!

No UK ant will eat carrots.

Thanks for that. Have assumed that the tops chomped from the carrots and
carrots which were hollow (insides eaten away) was the work of the ants as
no other bugs visible.

Will have to look carefully this year.
