Are ants dangerous for my potted "Privet"? I have just replanted my "Privets" in bigger pots. Now I see ants in my pots. Please, help! What should I do? Thanks.

Not directly dangerous but their tunnels and living spaces will create air pockets amongst the roots. Ants only build their nests in dry places so their presence is an indicator that the compost in the pot is too dry.
