Haywood,

Google 'ant bait recipe'. Instructions are there for either boric acid or
20 Mule Team Borax. The author recommends using a margarine container. For
orchids you probably want something smaller. Using it in a container is
probably best because of the plant toxicity factor.

4 or 5 nights when it is cold enough to warrant bringing the orchids
inside.

Used Coffee grounds? Caffeine is natures insecticide.

I don't think it's much of a problem until you want to bring them back
inside.
