Anyone know why ants like my lamium ? They eat the flowers & are all over the rest of the plant. some leaves are brown & unhealthy looking.
Something is chewing up morning glory leaves-what's with that ?
I hope for some solutions that are 'home made', as I don't use toxic pest controls.

If I posted this already, Sorry 'bout that ! I'm new here, & finding my way around.

Check the undersides? Ants usually mean aphids or some other honeydew secreting sucking pest.

Ants don't eat plants. It's some other insects, or slugs, possibly, eating your plants, plus likely aphids being farmed by ants, as already mentioned.
