Ants are eating my strawberries!! I have never had ants here before. What would you use in the strawberry bed as a deterrent? I haven't found their nest yet... :barnie

For some reason ants kept making hills in my Brussels sprouts last year. I finally put those little ant traps out there...it worked.
