I've read that dry cornmeal will swell in their stomachs and kill them. I couldn't wait when they invaded my kitchen and so used Ortho traps. Works really well. But if you can't wait

You can use sweetened cornbread and muffin mix. They can't digest it.
Clean area with white vinegar then rub peppermint essential oil around areas or spray vinegar daily
Boiling water on nest.............
Also, if there are alot of ants outside on your property, sprinkle cornmeal or a cornmeal muffin mix all around the house. When ants eat it, cornmeal absorbs all the fluid in their system and they die. If another ant eats the dead one, guess what, he dies too!
I use packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are. 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.
I read this from : Itsmemic
Medicated powder from the Dollar Tree. It has eucalyptus in it...menthol...I puff it around my homes foundation..and inside under my birdcages in the cracks under moldings. Work immediately and they never come back. I do this at the first sign of ants..in one day..GONE. The powder is in a very large container and lasts quite awhile too !! And smells great !
Not toxic to my birds OR dog

Ants are so weird. One time I found them inside the freezer in the garage!! What would possess them to go inside a freezer only to die? They must have sent signals back or something ~ there were no ant trails only a freezer full of dead ants. Hasn't happened since.
