Ghost ants on peach tree
« on: March 26, 2019, 10:54:22 AM »
My Peach seems to always have ghost ants on it, it is my only tree that I have ever seen ghost ants on. Usually when I think of ants in general I think of them as a bad thing, bringing aphids, scale and other unwanted pests onto the tree and feeding off of them(I had this issue with a mango tree). Now I don't know if ghost ants specifically do that or not but would like to know what your experience has been with ghost ants. Should I get rid of them or should I let them do their thing?

I have never noticed any aphids, scale or anything else on my peach tree, but once I saw the ants I usually get rid of them. But if ghost ants don't do any harm to the tree and are beneficial in some way I would rather not get rid of them.
