I don't really mind unsightly but am worried about them damaging the tree. It's pretty robust but apparently aphids could weaken it and give it diseases. The flowers are nice to look at though and there are a lot fewer of them since the aphids moved in.
I have no idea where the ants are nesting or I would! We put down wildflower turf about three and a half weeks ago which is doing very well but I suspect they may be living in that somewhere, in which case I'll never find them...
