I haven't tried this in a blooming planter, but:
I get ants in my apartment, and most people around here do. However, I discovered that a household cleaner kills ants.
At Whole Foods (or Kroger), buy the Seventh Generation "Green Mandarin & Leaf" Natural All-purpose cleaner. Spray it on the ants and where they are getting in. It will kill them on contact. I'm not kidding, they die on the spot.
I found this out by accident, searching for natural products I had in the house that contained mint (this has a bit of spearmint in it), b/c supposedly ants hate mint. Peppermint tea did nothing, this did everything.
Try it. It's non-toxic, no fumes, hypo-allergenic, and has no phosphates.
It sounds like it would be fine around plants, as it is non-toxic. The ingredients are: natural emulsifier to allow water to mix with oil (coconut-based surfactant)...sodium citrate (builds alkalinity), whole and natural plant essences (mandarin, spearmint, pettigrain essential oils, preservative (less than 0.05%), Water.
The only thing is, I can't say if your plants are happy around spearmint or mandarin...
At any rate, it will work elsewhere if not on the planter, and you can always clean your house with the rest!

What do you gain with animal experimentation?
You find out if something is safe or not and you find out the effectiveness of something. But animal experimentation is not fool proof and sometimes all the hard work of testing is usless. I think that we should stop animal experimentation and stick with good old natural things instead of trying to find out if chemicals are safe.

Polar Bears and Killer Whales (Orca) are the two main predators of the beluga whale.

The killer whale is its other significant natural predator.
