alright have a tiny bit ammount of ants in one of my containers not any serious worries though about twenty days and im done with this grow 
so not much time left but i dont like the ants in my house anyways so here what i got off ed rosenthal
The ants are making nests in the planting medium. This messes with the roots. There is a good possibility that the ants are aphid ranchers. The ants eat the aphids' excreted "honeydew," which is a sugar concentrate from the plant's sap. If they are not ranching, they are getting food from another source and that probably has something to do with the garden
Cinnamon is both repugnant and fatal to ants. As you sprinkle it or water it into the soil you will see the ants scurrying out of their nests. Ants are also susceptible to pyrethrum drenches and other biological insecticides. With a spoon, sprinkle ground cinnamon, which can be purchased at any herb shop or grocery store, on the top of the planting medium. Then make a drench using two rounded tablespoons of ground cinnamon per gallon of hot water. Let the water cool to room temperature then add a liquid pyrethrum insecticide into the solution as directed. A surfactant such as Coco-Wet will make the solution more effective. Use the solution as a drench.
has anyone ever used cinammon to eliminate pests and ants does it work? any info appreciated like i said no threat really posed i just hate bugs period lol but any info greatly appriciated or any other ideas thanks guys
