easy////i grow outside and the ants eat my shit too....if u use vinegar and sum cayanne pepper.....springle that around the [;amts and then put some vinegar in water and water the soil with that for a day....ants will go bye bye....the pepper burns their feelers and the smell kills them....also put grits or oatmeal on the soil and thw ants willl eat it thinkin its food....the grits or oatmeal will absorb all the moisture in their bodies making them dehydrate and die////organic is the way to be!!!!!!!
