As in, do you think they're making a nest in your pot? I've seen ants do that with other potted plants. I think that might drive me completely insane. 
Boric acid I think is a good anti-ant "stuff... mix it with sugar and sprinkle it around the area you want to keep protected.
Fucking ants.
Little fuckers bite, too! Let me do some Googling (you should, too).

But.. molasses has attracted ants to my deck.Ive used molasses successfully to not only keep fireants out of my Texas lawn but to also increase the quality of my soil, lawn and garden. I apply granulated dried molasses at a rate of 25-50lbs per 1000 sq ft but Ive heard that diluting liquid molasses in water and spraying on your lawn works well too and may have added benefits. Molasses is a powerful carbon (sugar) source that really kicks up the overall number of microorganisms in your soil. The microbes in soil feed on hydrocarbon chains, of which sugar. This increase in microbial activity and competition upsets the fireants somehow and they move out to more sterile locations.
Here's one of the articles online I found regarding fireants and molasses. I hope this info helps.
Molasses Makes Fire Ants Move Out
Boric acid might be your ticket, or the dried molasses, or... it seems you have a plethora of options.

Loose tobacco (the kind for rolling your own, I like organic products, either way, make it JUST tobacco, no other additives).
10 grams/liter steaming hot water. Steep it overnight, strain, add a drop of liquid soap (like I said, make SURE it's not anti-bacterial/microbial), shake it, spray a fine mist. Make sure you cover tops and bottoms of leaves, stems, and get the soil surface, too, just in case whatever's got the munchies rolled up and dropped onto the surface.
