Hello. I have a lot of ants in my plant pots. I have dahlias lobelia and impatience I'm worried they will eat them. The pots are very heavy so can't move them. What can I do?

Ants do not eat plants, they will be after either moisture or aphids.

They Have probably set up a colony, especially if the pots are not being watered regularly.

I used to flood any pots with ants nesting in them. they soon get the message and move on. No point in killing them as you kill one and a dozen more come to the funeral
