    Hi, an even easier and less chemical way. Vinegar, baking soda, (some use salt etc.. ) although they are far better than the usual poisonous stuff, still end up accumulating in the soil (or get washed away to the soil when it rains if it's a deck/terrasse/paved alley) and will have an effect on your soil/plants. Here is the advice: observe some ants, follow their path, locate the entrance to the ant's nest, if necessary create soe additional holes/enlarge the entrance and pour boiling water. You can use a piece of shallow pipe or tube to guide the water if necessary-just be careful it usually splashes on your feet -don't wear sandals and shorts! Boiling water does a marvelous job, it's cheap and chemical-free and it's been used for centuries with a proven effect. Have a nice day! Carole

    I live in FL and we have fire ants and they can make huge mounds. I had tried just about everything. One day I saw on the internet to use Club Soda. I just pour it straight out of the 1 or 2 liter bottle. It destroys the entire mound. After years of fighting mound after mound and scared to death my dogs would get poison, I am happy to say I don't and have not had a since ant mound in my yard for 2 years. Hope this helps.

    the best natural remedy I've ever used (and it's never failed) to get rid of ants is diatamaceous (sounds die-at-a-mayshous) earth - basically crusched crysanthemum petals.

    Diatomaceous earth really is the best solution inside. Second best is borax. I use a craft syringe remove all electrical plates and insert either one of these products, use to get into corners, cracks and crevices. Don't bother applying in areas where there is moisture, because it won't work there. I just crush garlic and apply a light spray every so often in moisture prone areas. The smell does go away, and really keep ants at bay! Never tried the club soda but worth doing an experiment

    You might try using grits to get rid of ants.. I am not sure about the baking soda, as I have never tried it.
