Something as simple as cinamon will rid your garden of ants. They hate the smell and will suffocate them.
I use baking g soda. Just sprinkle it where you see the ants. It is said that when they eat it or attempt to carry it home, it swells in their stomachs and kills them. Whatever it does, it works for me and is very inexpensive.
Unless they are making their hills in your garden or cutting up your plants, things other than just being a nuisance why destroy them, they aren't hurting you and they are a part of the food chain just like everything else including us.
packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are coming in if you can find it, or even on your counter in a small lid. They will take it to the mound, everyone will eat it and die, they can't digest the cornmeal, but will take it because it is sweetened. Little goes a long way.
