How can I get rid of an ant nest in a large plant pot?

Our Advice:

Use Ant Killer Granules from Neudorff mixed with water or Nippon Ant Killer sachets from Vitax mixed with water and poured over the nest to kill the colony. If you do not wish to use chemicals, apply a biological control such as No Ants (Nemasys) which uses eelworms to kill young ants and drive away adults from the nest.
