    not that i've seen.  Last year i had a pot where things kept failing to thrive (except weeds of course) and discovered it was full of ants.  this year they're in a different pot.  But last year I didn't have geraniums in the pots.

    I had a large green bin with rhubarb and it died, maybe a coicidence but the ant nest must have been huge, tons of them
    came out when I tapped the bin.   Shame really because that rhubarb was lovely.

    Typically they didn't touch the other bin with rhubarb because that was an older plant and it no longer tasted nice.
    Tried killing it a few times and when I thought it worked it started growing again.
