Do you bring your outside plants inside before cold weather comes?

I never do, although I don't have many, well, one actually.  But I am afraid of ants and other bugs on the plant, even if I would clean off and wash the roots.

Moat herbs are bug repellent. So you should be safe with those.

 That is true.  That's actually why I planted them in the first place lol.  Still though...the other day there were 2 caterpillars on my parsley.  I'm hesitant of bringing anything inside.

Yeah, I've had caterpillars eat parsley, and beetles eat basil. I think that some herbs are bug repellent but not all.

My mom brought a plant inside and within a week noticed big ants crawling out of the pot. :(
