I knew I couldn't get through the whole overwintering process scot-free...
It seems a bunch of the tiny little buggers decided to move into my seedling trays. Got up this morning and their was a nice rim of dirt around the seed flats, I picked up one of the pots and there were quite a few ants scurrying about underneath. And before you ask, they are definitely not too dry, if anything I have been overwatering them. I haven't noticed any in my overwinter pots yet.
Any advice? I don't mind ants outdoors, even with their aphid farming habits, but indoors is another story. I'm wary of introducing anything that might harm the young plants, and to make things more complicated we have cats in the house so that rules out a bit...
