Ants generally are not welcome in any kind of crop, including peppers of all kinds, whether finger or bell, hot or sweet. Either they are pests themselves, or they protect other pests like aphids, scale insects, or mealy bugs because the ants feed on their honeydew, or they make it hard for people to tend the plants or harvest the crop. This is especially true for fire ants, that sting and bite workers.

However, sometimes ants such as fire ants will eat the aphids themselves and will eat other pests too, such as caterpillars and grubs (larvae) of beetles and flies.

One just has to watch the crop carefully to make sense of what is going on, so that you know when to do something about it, and when to leave it alone.
