Rabbit safe ant spray

Sorry didn’t know where to post this.
Ants are climbing one of our shrubs all of a sudden, is there anything I can use that would get rid out the ants without harming roaming bunny.

Have you also got aphids on your shrub? If so, it's probable that the ants are farming the aphids (looking after them and consuming the honeydew that they produce). This would be why the ants are climbing the shrub.

With or without aphids, I would get a hose and wash them away with a strong spray of water. I wouldn't use any chemicals, as that will also harm natural predators such as Ladybirds.
