My garden is becoming overrun with ants.  The biggest problem
is with my artichoke plants.  They are laying eggs between the
leaves.  Is there anything I can do that is not harmful to me?
So far I have been spraying them hard with the hose to wash
them away but give them 24 hours and they're back.  I also own
a dog and would not want to put out anything that would be
potentially harmful to her.  Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated!  (I'd like to eat at least one choke)  Thanking
you in advance...
