I use a dried pepper hot measure and "salt" it into the soil..something extremely hot.
Reply:If the ants isn't bothering your flowers I'd leave them alone in fact they are after other pests. I have several Gardenais and I've seen ants on them I just leave them alone. However if they are eating your flowers and garden I'd get rid of them.
