not sure you want to, ants outside are natural and healthy for the soil...
to me, a 'mill bug' usually feeds on grains, and would not bother morning glories. if you meant a 'pill bug' then again, it's a natural, healthy companion bug for any soil rich in woody plant matter, and not something that will harm your plants.
morning glories are tough as nails.
Linda, A heavy infestation may require spraying the plant with a soap solution. Mix 1 tablespoon of a mild dish detergent with 1 quart of water and spray the plant thoroughly, paying attention to the undersides of the leaves. Once the spray dries completely, rinse it off with plain water. Repeat every seven to 10 days.
