A few things to try!
- Sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the bushes
- Make sure that you remove any leaves/branches of the bush that touch the ground
- Grow strong smelling herbs as close to the bush as possible

  Check closely to see if there are aphids, also. They are usually together. Then use an aphid treatment, either chemical or natural, you choose.

Sprinkle cornmeal around the bushes. Ants eat it and don't come back.
