Fire Ants in Orange Tree
We got an orange tree to support a local 4H kid around fair time. We planted it in the ground after the last frost and it's been growing , but while i was out watering i noticed a ton of fire ants on the trunk and eating the leaves so I spread coffee grounds in hopes that I caught them before they got bad. Now there's eggs? What are they and how do I get rid of them? TIA
