I have new flower shoots coming up to flower June/July. I have sprinkled ant powder around the greenhouse edge so hopefully that will help to stop them from getting in, but I agree with you Dorothy - ANTS ARE GROSS!!!
You can dunk the plant in Orange Guard at any time even when in flower. It's made from an extract of Orange peel but been chemically altered for effectiveness..
