Yup. And I suggest learning to love ants - they do more good than
harm in the garden, generally.

Totally agree

I think it's worth pointing that, AFAIK, they do no harm, don't carry
disease etc. I realise - as one who has experienced it often - that it's
not pleasant to find a soup plate sized gang of them on the carpet but while
they might nip you if you sit on a nest, they're not unsanitary!
