I read somewhere, maybe on Hometalk, that Jiffy cornbread muffin mix works well. I didn't believe it, but tried it and it's TRUE! Just sprinkle the dry mix in the areas that are ant infected, the ants disappear within a few days. I use this method whenever I hace ants on my patio or porch areas. Works every time.

We use Terro, available at diy stores, follow directions, it works well. If you have a parade of them, put it in their path, they love it.

Getting rid of ants is easy with Dawn Dish Soap. Spray a mixture of water and Dawn directly onto countertops, floors, sinks, or wherever the ants seem to be. ... If you spray the solution directly on an ant, Dawn will penetrate their exoskeleton and kill them on contact. This also works for wasps and cockroaches

The only thing we use is Terro. The stuff is amazing.

You can take a scoop from a mound and put in a different mound. They will kill each other.

Vinager kills them

Wine vinager kills them

There IS an EASY and INEXPENSIVE solution, it is corn meal. It kills any kind of ant. We use Jiffy as it is sweet and they take it back to the nest and kill the queen. We tried everything from poisons to bait, everything. An old timer told us about cornmeal. It WORKS. I keep Jiffy in my pantry year round for any "invading ants". We need ants, but not the kind that are invaders

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. It's even been featured on Hometalk! Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

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

I just made a mixture of 1T peppermint Castille soap and peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle filled with water. It is supposed to work, give it a try.
