Do ants destroy orchid plants?

Agreed - while ants will not usually "destroy" an orchid (although
they will feed on the honeydew from the inflorescences and may damage
some plant parts and or roots - they will actively establish a nest in
orchid pots - and once you water them what seems like MILLIONS will
come out...

I have very good luck using TERRO liquid ant baits - which are non
toxic - and it kills all the ants, including the queen. It comes in a
liquid that you can either place on little bits of paper or in pre-
made feeding stations.
