Not really - they feed on sugary honey dew from aphids so can stop ladybirds but on the whole don't really do much damage to plants. The RHS has this to say on ants (taken from their web site) "Ants can cause concern but they are a nuisance rather than destructive pests. They feed mainly on insects, including other ants. They also look for the sweet liquid known as honeydew, which is excreted by aphids and some other sap-feeding insects."
