  Is it possible that the protozoa were in the ant mounds and the tea fed (=
or
  otherwise favorably changed the environment
  for) the protozoa? If so, does anyone know how I would tweak my tea that=
 
  would increase the favorable effect on the protozoa? and thus the negativ=
e
  effect on the ants?

  Peace.
