i would like to know if after relocating a couple of fruit shrubs this aftenoon i noticed some brown shiny ants when i started to dig at their new location. Are they a real pest and if so how do i keep on top of this problem? Cheers! :-\

No they're not a real pest. They might do marginal harm by farming aphids, but they do a lot of good by eating pests you don't want.

Ah Brown Ants,
Acanthomyops brunneus
, or Pharaoh Ant
Monomorium pharaonis
(small (2 mm) yellow or light brown, almost transparent.)
Either way, ruthlessly kill the little b******s,. there a menace.
Other sorts of ants are fine.
