Ants can help improve soil, they are predators of some small pest insects. (but they may also farm aphids which is a mixed bag. Generally having both ants and aphids might be better than just having aphids since the ants will clip their wings so they can't spread and keep their honeydew from causing leaf rot by cleaning it up... however you might want to just remove the aphids with some tape so the ants find something else to do. They love "ranching")
