the easiest way to rid plants of unwanted pests is to simply spray them off with hose water.

if they keep coming back use a insecticidal soap product like "safer" or "greenlight".

if you are using an chemical insecticide ant spray, you will probably keep having to apply it because those type of sprays also kill off the beneficial insects that are the natural ant predators.
