Dear Judy,
Those ants are actually adult corona viruses, and some hand sanitizer will take care of them

This afternoon I discovered that a pot of Nerine bowdenii in the
greenhouse had a metropolis of little black ants living in the soil.
Took pot outside, dumped soil and ants, repotted the nerine bulbs.
Having mixed a goodly amount of soil I started repotting the other pots
of nerine. No ants in their pots but now I noticed a hegira of ants
busily climbing up and down one of the outside wall's metal supports.
Some are carrying little white pupae?
These are the tiny ants that if found in the kitchen I call sugar ants.
Some folk call them pavement ants. Really tiny.
There's a wren in the greenhouse almost every morning but doubt she will
be of any help with this situation. Our usual routine is to open garage
door, open greenhouse door to garage, and she departs. The chipmunk -
fortunately once only - was more difficult to evict. Finally left
through the automatic louvers in the side wall after I removed the
screening.
I put an ant trap near the ants migration route. Should I be worried?
Any suggestions?
