I have ants in my plants! How do i get rid of them without killing my

Hi Earlene, here are some great tips... https://www.towergarden.ca/blog.read.html/en/2017/6/control-ants-in-the-garden.html

1 tbs honey on a jar lid, add about 1/8th tsp roach proof..mix and set it out near plants that are not wet. Do not wet this mixture, either.

I use packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are. They will take it to the mound, everyone will eat it and die, they can't digest the cornmeal, but will take it because it is sweetened. Little goes a long way.

I read this from : Itsmemic

Medicated powder from the Dollar Tree. It has eucalyptus in it...menthol...I puff it around my homes foundation..and inside under my birdcages in the cracks under moldings. Work immediately and they never come back. I do this at the first sign of ants..in one day..GONE. The powder is in a very large container and lasts quite awhile too !! And smells great !

Not toxic to my birds OR dog

In some plants, like peonies, the ants are necessary for the blooming process to happen. So are you sure the ants are actually harming your plants.
