Courtney,
 
Ants love the honeydew produced by aphids- the sticky substance that they excrete.  The Organicide will take care of the aphids- but only if it comes in contact with them.  Take care in spraying under leaves and to the soil level if your can.  It will only kill soft bodied insects so the ants will remain.
 
The ants are nuts this year- I have them everywhere.  I opened a fresh bag of soiless mix today and there was an ant nest inside of it!  I picked up a 4 pack of pansies and there was an ant nest in the 1020 flat.  What gives? They started coming into our house before the snow had melted while the ground was frozen- isn't that unusual?
