some ants are attracted to the moisture in yr pots. some may eat some of the goodies like meat meal if it's too fresh (hope that's not the issue).
before you buy heavy chems to rid the ants first try putting borax powder around the base of the pots. it's safe and cheap and ants hate it.

if they are actual ants tell him to go to his local hardware store and buy those little ant motels, they are like a dollar for 3 little discs, put them in the grow and the problem should be solved. if they are much smaller they could be the larval stage of fungus gnats, does he have any tiny black bugs flying around?
