Ants

So I moved my tomato plants to my boyfriend’s apartment, they are now outside full time in their pots. Shortly after getting here, I realize his second floor porch is infested with ants.

I noticed immediately they had been chomping on the leaves and come out this morning to huge chunks out of the big leaves :(

I tried putting Vaseline on the perimeter of the dish underneath, and that obviously didn’t work…what the fuck do I do? They’re going to have to stay here now, and I wish I never did this in the first place.
