Ants
They got them a lot of ants in Florida.
Those clever devils at the Orlando Sentinel. What will they think of next. Dunking.
Q: One of my cactuses has ants in the container, and I would like to get them out without using pesticides. What should I do?
A: Ants don't like water, so a good soaking should get them out of the pot. Perhaps this is best done outdoors in an area where you don't want an ant explosion. Dunk the cactus's pot with root ball under water for about five minutes. The unhappy ants should scurry to the surface. When you think all the ants are out, set the ant-free cactus out to drain before giving it a permanent location.
