Sometimes putting rice around the plant will stop them. Ants will eat the dry rice, and then it will expand and kill them.

I had rather large ants living in my plants on my last grow...not a fun experience to water your plants and have ants just pour out of the saturated soil...

I did a bunch of searching online and found that ground cinnamon was the best natural/organic deterrent. I top dressed a couple tablespoons into the top layer of my soil, mixing it in with the soil a little and then watering. They were gone after the first application and I never saw them again. There were no negative affects to the plants and/or buds either...though the room smelled like cinnamon for about a week, which wasn't so bad. I had ant traps set up too but those never seem to work at all for me.

Thanks for all the input guys. They are the little little red type. I think im going to try stickie ant traps. I need to get some branches off the walls, i think there coming from a crack in the floorboard.

420 magazine recommends these. Just spray that stuff in the crack they are coming from and around the plants to form a barrier. Good luck buddy.
