I have ants around Dumbork's ATBA. What type of ants do you have? I noticed Dumbork minds her own business, but the ants seem persistent to climb on Dumbork's shell and burrow in the flaps of her skin. But since I have no physical evidence that the ants are biting her (no red marks, no scratching from Dumbs), I guess ants are fine.

Spray the whole area down with water. Wash them away. Safe for pond, and not for ants!

If I recall correctly, putting down some grits would help. The ants will eat them, it will expand and kill them.

I don't know what type of ants they are. Just know that they bit me when cleaning the filter. I will try watering them down and using the grits. Thanks all.
