Attack of the ANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kentosaurs]

Hi everyone

I know its nothing about neps but i can't find anywhere which i can post this thread sooo my as well just post it here.

Well as the title says "Attack of the ANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" hahahah.So was just asking well i know that the normal garden black ants does nothing to my plants.Normally its justt the normal tiny red ants which also don't harm anyone and just stays outside in the balcony/garden.Recently,a mob or army of black ants just came in and they are almost everywhere swarming my pitchers and stuff like that.When they go for the pitchers i suspect they go for the nectar which is fine but they go by maybe 30-40 at a time really scary....And sometimes they go into the house(a number of them) which my parents reeeaaally dont like it at all.Oh yeah one more thing when the ants swarm the pitchers they stick on the peristrome most of them and some also stick at the middle sections of the pitcher and they are kinda dead i don't know what causes this things to happen but the main thing here is how to get rid of them without hurting my plants.Need help URGENT

When I repotted my plants into a bigger pot, I poured my miranda pitchers. Inside it was mushy disgusting remains of black ants. Enough to completely fill your hand.

Hi Aaron

Well i know that the black ants do get eaten or traped by my neps but the problem is not all of them are getting trap some just stay on the walls or at the lid and die....some are feeding the nectar of my pitchers and there are a LOT of them.All this came in a sudden wasn't ready for all this ants to just budge in like that.Well does sheltox kill plants LOL

Pour water on those irritating insects making them slip inside the pitcher.

Yeah im kinda doing that now but there are really hundreds of them so not all of them will be eliminated.They seem to die very easily under water.I'm trying to find a source from where they come from still no luck.Anyways thanks for the advice
