How to Get Rid of Ants From Your Home Without Chemicals
For ants in the house, I like to use the bait traps with liquid poison. That's really all I use. I let the ants that are outside be.
I hate using chemicals as well, but sometimes that's all I can get to work to get rid of the little buggers! I've tried several brands but the one that seems to work the best for us is Terro. You can either buy the liquid and add a drop of it to a small piece of cardboard and place it where the ants are seen, or I think they have pre-baited traps. Apart from the obvious of keeping it away from children and pets, be careful to wipe it up immediately if you accidentally spill or turn over the piece of cardboard! That stuff dries like liquid cement!
You could give this a try.

Ants: Safe and Effective Cure
Hi Lory - Those little buggers are relentless, aren't they?!? This is the most effective method and all-natural spray DIY that we use with ants. It's best indoors, but will also work outside with more frequent applications. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
