Normally you should use an insecticidal soap to do this one. You are to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the soap to a bucket of water. Sit the plant in the bucket and make sure the water just goes to the top of the soil. Allow it to sit in the water for 20 minutes.

Other than this the next step I do is to get a bag and take my plant out of the pot and shake all the ants and dirt in the bag to tie up and throuw away. Then change the soil on my plants.

Dawn is the best, you can also use coffee grounds, ants will relocate with coffee grounds!
