Do ants carry disease?
Don't know, but they will undermine plants. They also farm aphids and those carry disease, suck sap &c.
Can be hell in a wormery. When there's a problem I put the legs in old plastic containers and water in those as a barrier.
Generally I leave them alone or brush them off, when they get too bad in the greenhouse they get boiling water or meths -ant flambe ;D

It's not on plants. or even in the garden. Maybe a bit cheeky asking here! I've had two crawling over my desk all day. No matter how many times I throw them on the floor, they keep coming back. But I can't kill things. (they are quite fun to watch too - yes my job is that dull!)
I think you're probably OK then, they'd have tread in something noxious wouldn't they? Mind you given the state of most peoples desk/keyboards........................
my plum trees are dieing, wat shuld i do, i water them and they get sunlight?? ???
