“I spend quite a lot of time persuading people that there's more to [ants] than meets the eye,” Hart says. “Although they may be a bit annoying at times, they actually have an amazing kind of use throughout the environment.” There are other potential risks, too. There are at least 14,000 known species of ant, and while some can be good for a garden, not all are. Fire ants, for instance, can spread rapidly and change an area’s ecology, Hart says. And not every agricultural system will benefit from ants.
