I tried to search this but 'ants' is part of 'plants' and I got nowhere soooo...

There are ants in my pepper plants. Everywhere. Is this a bad thing?

Thanks, ya'll.

Depends, ,my ants bring leafhoppers that eat my plants so I try to keep them to a minimum. Insecidal soap helps. I am going to see what I can apply to the stem to reduce their numbers. The vaseline to the base did not work well for me so I will try something a bit stronger.

depending on the ant. you can try grits or whole wheat flour for fire ants.
