I have had repeatedly very tiny black ants establishing their nest in my pots. Is there any ecological way of getting rid of them? I read somewhere that rice could work.

The don't harm adult cacti, but they destroyed my cactus seedlings.

You could try borax bait - http://boraxantkiller.com/step-by-step-instructions/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ants also quite often ceep aphids as cattle, moving them around and keeping them safe in exchange for the sugary sap they produce when eating on the plants.

Concentrated light lemonade (aspartame) is something I have heard about but never tried myself.
