Ants In Raised Beds And Pots

There are a lot of ants in my raise beds as well as my pardon. I want to keep this as organic as possible. They also some unknown bugs ate my premature plants as it is seeding. What can I do to keep ants out of my bedding and potting areas? I have tried to use Epsom salt, but did not work. I have a lot of ants hills around my house. There are also some unknown pets or bugs eating the leaves of my pre-mature plants, after sproutting. Thank you in advance for all the recommendations. Have a nice day.
