I have hundreds of fruit trees, some of them have ants carrying fungi & other pest
You do have a couple of options. You can bait around the base of the trees using ant bait granules or liquid/gels baits in ant bait stations. This will keep the products away from the trees but still allow the ants access to the bait. The other option would be to use horticultural oil or soap to help kill the ants that are present and also the aphids they are likely going into the trees to farm.
