How do I get ants out of my outdoor pots - does 'ant sand' work ?

Repot them

Why not just put an ant bait in the pot? To stop others coming in, stand the pot in a dish of water- put stones in for the pot to rest on if you don't want the base in contact with water. Ants don't swim.

Yes it does. just keep on using it til they stop taking it.

Soak pots in a water bath, or a large bucket for ten minutes.

I was horrified to find a large ants nest in a set of drawers in the garage the other day.
