Will do even chemical.

Put some DE down on the soil around the plant. Not many insects can survive walking thru that stuff.

You must have eyes of a wolf to be able to see ants at 3 in the morning!?

Diatomacious earth.

And in case you haven't searched it yet, it is like little razor blades to them. And dehydrates them

I read that cinnamon is a great repellent. Draw a cinnamon circle around your plants and they won't cross it (like ghosts and salt circles )
Cinnamon doesn't kill them but it keeps them away.
