Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have been having problems with red ants, masses of them. I've dug over my garden, putting in some new soil too. They get into my planters, well, seems they are everywhere this year. I'm a little distraught because I planted a tree for my late father, it was thriving until recently, the leaves are hanging down, its kinda looking all sad.
I would hate to dig it back up, been in the garden 2 months now.
I would appreciate any advice on how to get rid of the little critters..

Thanks.

Molly.
