Good luck!

After you get rid of the ants, buy bags of a good type compost and fill you beds about six inches deep with the compost. Water well, when it gets close to spring add slow release fertilizer such as Osmocote to the compost. Follow the directions on the container. Water well, and then plant when it is time next spring/summer (USA). By then you will be completely rid of the ants.

Amdro ant bait will do if the ants are still actively moving around. They will take it down into colony for winter...and pretty much take care of your problem by spring. Otherwise you need to dig into main part of colony and pour in some ant killer mixed with water.

Find the nest and squirt the kind of lighter fluid used in a zippo style lighter into the nest. Also, sprinkle nutmeg over the area. Ants detest it.

You can purchase granulated pest control.
You sprinkle this all over the bed, and it will get rid of the ants.
If you have pets you will need to keep them away from this.

Ants do harm plants: their tunnels aggrivate a number of situations.
Have fun playing in the dirt.
