Maybe.
The ants might be feeding off nectar from your Sarrs but there is also a chance that they are moving in and bringing aphids along. For safety sake I would take the plant in question and fully submerge its pot in water for a few days. That'll kill any ants living in the soil and stop an colinization attempts

It's been one of dem days
Keep an eye out for a return of the ants. They could have gone back to the colony to tell them where to find some nice nectar.

Ants bring aphids? Can you elaborate on that a little? I never knew there was any relationship between those two pests.
Thanks.

A h... hug..... sounds... nice... NO!!! Death to ants!!!
Aphids are to ants as Cows are to humans. Ants milk aphids for the sweet dew that they produce, they love the stuff.
