Some ants will attack a plant I know "fire ants" will and I am sure others will also. But then some ants won't. If your worried about go buy some Diatomceous Earth(spelling?) and place about a 1/4" layer over your soil that will take care of them and no harm to your plant...take care..

Ants get stuck in your buds and die. They will also attach your beneficial insect in your garden. I have ants right now also and I am bombing my garden weekly with safe bug bombs to get rid of the ants and the other bugs. When the ants killed my ladybugs the spidermites and white flies got out of hand.

Yes grama42 I said some ants will hurt them I know fire ants will as I'm sure others will but without knowing what kind of ants you have then this is the best answer I could come up with for you. Fire ants destroyd a plant of mine before. On the other hand if they are not harmful ants then maybe they will serve a good purpose by tunneling holes through your soil allowing extra oxygen to reach your root zone...take care..

.."some" ants are known to farm aphids for their sweet secretion. Aphids 'are' harmful.
I've never heard of beneficial ants.. I'd get rid of them.. IMO.
I'm thinking Diotamaceous earth would do the trick
