Default [IBC] Ants and Boric acid

I would not use boric acid in pots -- just on general
principles; when you use it on ants outside, it will kill
grass it comes in contact with. Grass, generally speaking,
is tougher than a bonsai.

If you have ants in your pot, submerge it in water for a
couple of hours. If they also live UNDER the pot in the
soil, you can use boric acid there, if you like, but it
won't be as thorough as a good dousing with an ant-and-roach
spray or someting like Amdro.
