Go to the store and buy a pkg og Jiffy cornbread mix, do not bake it but scatter the product where the ants are.
They will take it back to their colonies and it will kill them.
We have had the best results with the AMDRO line of products... follow the directions.
Chrysanthemum work great they're natures pesticide. If you don't want to plant then then take the flower and crush it use the pieces in the ants home they will carry it in and it will kill them off tabacco works too

Thank you.
I use whole cloves. Spread them around. Don’t know where the ants go, but they don’t come back. This also works good in your house-especially is you have small animals.
Thank you.
Thank you!
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 did some research, since we know what works for one person doesn't always work for another. I found this site and it's pretty informative. I know some tips you may not be able to use but there are some good ones also that will hopefully help.

I too use Amdro it works in 24 hours. You can also spray windex on the ants, they love the taste and then they die.
