We use Terro, from diy store, you can use it inside and outside, just place it where the ants are congregating, they take it back to their colony and it eliminates it as they share. Terro is really liquid boric acid.

You may have products lying around your house that can deter ants from entering, such as salt, baby powder, lemon juice, chalk, vinegar, bay leaves, cinnamon, or peppermint oil. If you spread these out in ant-infested locations, the ants will stop using those areas as entrances into your home. Landscape divider.

Dee · Answer

Cornmeal is your answer. Sprinke cornmeal, the ants will eat it and die. Or use peppermint oil if you see the trail they are taking.
