raspberry insects

I have two raspberry plants that do extremely well, but the only problem is very small ants, millions of them it seems. Can you please tell me how to stop those insects from ruining my raspberries? They actually do no harm, but I cannot eat them with the thought I might be eating tiny ants. Thank you.
