I have plenty of ants, too.

They are most bothersome in my vehicles! I guess they feed on whatever nectar or drippings come from the trees overhead? Have used liquid Terro in the door and frame cracks before. but this year the 'incoming' supply of ants seems truly endless. Help.

As of yesterday powdery mildew is greatly reduced as I really wacked back overgrowth around yard to increase air flow. (Turned on euonomous shrub into a tree!) Also, less plants since parting them out.

Any one else plagued by Flatid leafhopers/planthopers?
