What type of ants are they? Little black ants? Big red ants?
In some circumstances, the Terro Ant Baits work well and are a safer, less toxic option. In the cases Amdro Ant Granules are the way to go, but this is a toxic poison, so you must use it more carefully and never let your tortoise gain access to the product.
And is Cinnamon harmful to tortoise? I heard Cinnamon is a natural repellent for ants. I plan to put some cinnamon powder in the enclosureYes. Ants can be harmful. They can kill your tortoise. You need to get rid of them.

If you are seeing 13 ants, there are probably 13 million close by waiting for their scouts to tell them where the food is.And is Cinnamon harmful to tortoise? I heard Cinnamon is a natural repellent for ants. I plan to put some cinnamon powder in the enclosure
