Ants on strawberries? Are ants bad or good on strawberry flowers? I noticed tonight that there was at least one ant on each flower in my strawberry bed which was strange because there doesn't seem to be any in the soil. I'm not sure if they are pollinators or if they will end up eating the strawberries. They are regular ants, not fireants or carpenter ants.

holes in my strawberrys!! I have found that rolly-pollys or pill bugs eat holes in my strawberries. I don't know of a way to get rid of them, except get rid of the mulch that is around the plants, maybe. Thank you for reporting this comment. I've had both sow bugs and slugs this year eating my strawberries. I picked one that had them both in it enjoying a snack. In the past I haven't seen too many slugs here but this year is pretty bad. They wiped out my green beans I planted.

June beetle The heavy-bodied June beetles vary from 12 to 25 mm (0.5 to 1 inch) and have shiny wing covers (elytra). They feed on foliage and flowers at night, sometimes causing considerable damage. June beetle larvae, called white grubs, are about 25 mm (1 inch) long and live in the soil. They can destroy crops (e.g., corn [maize], small grains, potatoes, and strawberries), and they can kill lawns and pastures by severing grasses from their roots.

Several kinds of birds and spiders prey on aphids, and farmers use both chemical and biological insecticides to control them.

Thoroughly wet the infested liriope with a 2% horticultural oil spray (5 tablespoons per gallon of water) after pruning to aid in control. Species & Cultivars

Strawberries  (H16 (Revised)) Strawberries are probably the worst “weed” in many home patches. Small berries, poor quality and more disease problems are the result. Winter Protection – Mulching When the ground is frozen in the fall, cover your strawberries with a 4-inch layer of clean straw or marsh hay. Soybean straw is very satisfactory.

Is it safe to eat strawberries from a container that have a few moldy strawberries if the mold hasn't spread to all of them? The mold you see on the surface is only the fruiting body - the reproductive organ of the fungus. The real body of the fungus has by this point spread all through the flesh of the strawberry. You can try eating the strawberries that still look clean, and if they don’t taste bad, then they won’t make you feel sick.
