Default Ants on my orchid...

I have several orchid in my bay window and when I watered them last week, I noticed one of them was completely covered in ants. Many of which had wings (aren't those the queens?). I have a little ant problem in the kitchen, but nothing extreme. Besides, the kitchen is on the other side of the house. There are no ants anywhere but in that pot.
The interesting part is that all the ants were in only the one orchid, the others were just fine.
So I dunked it in neem oil and water for about 20 minutes, I sprayed around where the pots sit with raid, and I thought I had killed them all.
Well, I just noticed more ants in that same orchid pot.
I wander if that specific type of phal is more sweet than others, and is more appetizing to ants.
Any ideas on what I should do in addition to repotting it?
Thanks.
