AMDRO ant bait, ants carry back to nest and it kills queen then nest dies off. just put it on trail so they can find it. MYTH: Cinnamon kills ants.
TRUTH: Ants don’t like cinnamon but unfortunately it doesn’t kill or repel them.
MYTH: Vinegar kills ants.

MYTH: Boiling water repels ants.
TRUTH: If – and only if – the water is boiling will it kill the ants that it is poured on. However, it will not repel future ants from invading your home.
MYTH: Ants won’t cross a chalk or powder line.
TRUTH: A chalk line may temporarily stop the ants (it’s the smell that “ disrupts the scent trail”) but it won’t be long before they figure out a way around the chalk. We probably don’t have to tell you, but ants are very persistent creatures!
MYTH: Uncooked grains, like oatmeal,cornmeal, grits, or even sugar will kill ants by expanding in their stomachs and then exploding.
TRUTH: Despite popular belief, there is no evidence that ants can be killed off by dumping grains in or around the “hive.” What we do know is that only the oldest members of an ant colony can digest solid food. The adult, worker, and reproductive ants, can only digest liquids.
And the biggest ant control myth of all?
As long as you kill or remove the ants you can see, your problem is solved.
