I had originally wrote with the exception of leaf cutting ants, but decided to erase that portion because it was common sense.
Professional farmers in all banana growing countries, with the exception of switzerland, import ants to their fields to combat pests. Ants may be the single most important insect for growing healthy banana plants.
If you do decide to kill these ants, there are many large books on the benefits of ants in farming.
Using a large heavy book should easily crush those ants.
