i found a colony of very small ants in the pot of a plant. i didnt see any signs of dammage but do you think they will cause any dammage? and if it is a problem, what can i do to prevent them. thanks

I doubt the ants got high from eating an immature pot plant.

That's news to me! Ants in general aren't desirable. If nothing else, they can act as vectors for diseases. As far as I know, most common species of ant in temperate regions are herbivorous, some (such as fire ants) causing crop damage.
