Default Ants around pond

I'm getting ants in the dirt around my pond.
Mostly in the mound of earth around the waterfall pool
and under the coping stones.
Went to sink a plant today and uncovered a LOT of ants... again.
Problem is what to do about it.
I've been digging them up and pouring boiling water on them,
as I am afraid to use poison around the pond.
The only thing I can think of is possibly Diatomaceous earth.
Anyone else have this problem?
What if anything can be done about it?
They're wearing me out.
