Need receipe for indoor ants. Safe for pets and will not damage laminate floors thought lemon rind would help, but no!!
I hear Baby powder suffocates them and not dangerous to humans as some of the bug killers.

I like the ease of a commercial ant trap. The Terro brand is recommended quite highly you can check out the reviews and Q&A here— to see if it would meet your needs

In the house I use a spray made from 1 tbs peppermint essential oil, 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol mixed then add to 1cup water. Put in spray bottle. I spray anywhere they may enter. Doors, windows, vents,under the kitchen sink. It doesn't kill them but it does deter them(and spiders). Makes a big difference every spring here in the Northeast.
Boric acid powder where the ant trails are. I also like Terro or Amdro brands of ant traps.
