Help! I have a dwarf banana plant that I brought inside for the winter but it appears to have an ant infestation. I brought it in and after a few hours, I saw mini ants on and around the pot and plant stand. So I’m assuming they are in the soil. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🐜🪴

I hate ants with a passion (inside my house) I’d put it in the shower and submerge it. Spray it down with insecticidal soap and flush it super well.

If you can leave it in the bathtub with ant bait they’ll bring it back to the colony and eventually die off.
