I have an ivy plant, I do not know what kind it is but it is infested with ANTS, how do I get rid of them without killing my plant, its already starting to turn brown, is there any hope????? All my other plants are free of ants??????

They are probably hearding aphids for honeydew. Treat for the aphids.

Also, they may just be hiding there. Cali has more ants & black widows than I have ever seen.

But, if it is browning & the problem is not water, then probably aphids.
