It looks lke ants are eating my strawberries. Plants are healthy and I have no aphids but I do see ants. They aren't nesting in planter and it's not sitting on the ground but about the same day I plan to pick a berry the ants seem to already be at the tip and just enough damage done to break the skin on the berry. How can Iget rid of them without poisoning the plants and berries?
ants eating strawberries?
If they're not nesting in your planter, sprinkle some cayenne pepper powder around the perimeter of the planter.
