Ant traps?
Does neem oil work on ants?
Try moving the Pot... once it gets a little ways away they leave.
Transplant, if all else fails?

I use ground cinnamon. Sprinkle it all over the top soil and where the ants are. It won't harm your plants and ants hate cinnamon.
 
I had them crawling inside my plants that i had just topped so i put ant stakes around my greenhouse and the ants left in a hurry and havent been back .

It's probably too late for you, but ants farm aphids, including root aphids. I learned that the hard way. I spread a band of diatomaceous earth around the perimeter of my grow to keep them out. Once you have aphids, you're pretty much screwed.
