little black beetles in my garden?
I have recently moved house and found little "anthills" in my block paving in the front garden. On closer inspection I noticed little black beetles, about the size of ladybirds, scuttling in and out of the mounds of earth.
Are they friends of the garden or should I be trying to eradicate them? I have lots of mature plants in the garden (the previous owner was a keen gardener) and would like to keep it looking nice if possible.

they seem to be a sort of slug and that they are greater beneficial than satisfied to consume the slug bait pellets that the ironmongery shop sells. it is sturdy for the reason which you're putting poison on the floor close to your vegetation fairly than certainly on the vegetation. those men are incredibly consumer-friendly to get rid of, fortunately.
