Ants in Window Boxes ?

Question:As i was dead-heading my window boxes today, I noticed a lot of small ants scrrying around the flowers (which are mostly petunias and geraniums). Should I be concerned about the ants ? If so, what should I use to kill them. The boxes are on my deck, on the second floor of the building.

Thanks !!

Answers:
They will probably only stay in the window box because they need water. You can get rid of them by tossing out the soil in the box, but your flowers might not like that.

Put some sliced cucumbers in the boxes. You can also used crushed cloves. Ants hate them both!
