Ants by themselves, unless they are leaf cutters, usually don't harm plants in my experience. They do however consort with insects like aphids who do. If you sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on the surface of your soil it will deter them.

When I grew outside I'd get ants after a good rain, got some of those raid ant baits and stuck em in the ground. Problem solved and I didn't have to spray anything on my babies.

Maybe you could, get those sticky traps and place them on the ground,
where the ants are,
then place something sweet in the middle of it so they go after it but get stuck on the adhesive bits.

black ants prefer different food some like veggies some like fruit some like meat some like sugar so its gonna be a tough fight .considering i got dogs so a trap would be a pain

Lure them in with mt.dew,then hit em with a blowtorch....gnats,ants,etc...aphids and mites are trickier.They are usually on leaves and leaves dont like the blowtorch.

I dunno man..black ants are bad news..those fuckers will burrow into your house and breed by the million...killing a few here and there probably isnt going to help if you have an infestation.If you are renting,hide your plants and hit up the landlord,lol.

That makes it easier actually, you can do a bait at the base of each pot. Or sprinkle ant powder around the ground surrounding your pots.

Great idea or ant fire killer dust heard its organic used as food grade for cows or horses or some shit

Nature's Care 3-in-1. Dilute sulfur and pyrethins. Won't hurt your plant.

What you can, what I would do, go to your local store, see what brands they have write them down.
Come home, plug each name into a search engine and see what you can find out about them. Things like, safe for plants, is it safe around pets and people, length of effectiveness.

I've got ants in my kitchen. I just sprinkled (food grade) Diatomaceous Earth in every nook and cranny. Haven't seen an ant in 3 days.

Mix a small amount of borax (sodium borate) with corn syrup or something sweet and put it in a bottle cap. Put the bottle cap where the ants go... You'll never see them ever again.

A dry line of Cinnamon is supposed to repel ants. Top dressing? Cinnamon is NOT water soluble also.

Carpenter ants suck. Tough little bastards. Cayenne pepper or chilie powder works. But...
Draw a thick line of white chalk. Idk why they Will Not Cross It
