BRO!!! If the ants are your only problem you most likely have your solution at home! Cinnamon powder! just sprinkle a descent amount on top of your soil to the point where visible sites show around 60% cinnamon and 40% dirt... The ratio of cinnamon to soil is not really important just have enough cinnamon.... Dont be afraid that you might burn your plant you wont! I did this about 2 weeks ago after having ant problems outside... I did just what i told you and bye bye ants... when you water dont worry about the cinnamon mixing with the soil on top not a problem at all.... I even sprinkle some on the plant itself a little here little there evenly around on my plant... do it you wont regret it
