You say "it is to be put in a pot", implying that it isn't at the moment. I'd clean the root ball up when you uproot it, and get the ants then with some nippon. If you can't do that, you need to paint a ring of tar around the trunk, fairly low down to stop them climbing up the tree, and then put a trap on the top of the soil as near to where they come out as possible.
