LH-
We found back in the Pleistocene when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ethiopia that ants hated Eucalyptus leaves. Maybe some Eucalyptus oil would do the trick.
Alternatively, I understand that carpenter ants are quite tasty when stir-fried with rice, a bit aromatic as well. I recommend a dry unoaked chardonnay as an accompaniment.
