I don't know what leaf cutter ants are, but an excellent repellant for regular ants, is cinnamon sticks. Stick them in the ground in a protective ring around a plant-works great.

Thanks. I always avoid using heavy poisons since I haven't found them to be necessary, and also I don't want to contaminate any edible plants. I haven't ever tried the cinnamon stick method, I'll have to get some and try it.
