Like David M, I'm not convinced that the ants are your problem. Last year my
S. flava had a steady column of ants marching up and down it for most of the
spring, and it did nothing but grow. My admittedly anecdotal evidence is
that ants (at least the ones here in NC) don't do any harm to Sarracenia.
