So my in ground plant had been having issues with aphids, I was going out there every few days and manually rubbing them off but the ants kept bringing in more so finally decided to spray it with some soapy water. Used about 2 teaspoons in a 800ml mister bottle set to the finest setting sprayed it in the am and now here the next day all the ants left and only a couple of aphids remained ( massive improvement over the swarms of ants and thousands of aphids I was seeing before...)
