I noticed ants have a nest in my patch and some are in one of my hoops and crawling on my plant. Most ants are carnivors and eat bugs. My plant is very healthy.
They will eventually die when I start to spray later in the season.
Should I get rid of them now ?

I have seen problems with some yellow ants twice over the past few years. Plants die and when I pull them out they are swarming with the yellow ants eating off the roots.

ants transport aphids from plant to plant and live off their secretions...yeck.....get rid of them.
