Hi just getting greenhouse ready  to plant toms in and found an ants nest in there >:(. What is the best way to get rid of it. My toms are in large pots so they can be removed from greenhouse for a day or two.

My four hens would make quick work of those ants!  They eat them like candy!   ;)Seriously, the best thing is boiling water. 
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!

if it is not somewhere you can get at it with the kettle (which is the best way) then one of theos bait stations from AntStop will sort it out if you put it where they are
