Hi Ann. I use Diatomaceous Earth. It is made of crushed shells and coral. When the ants come in contact it makes cuts in their exoskeleton causing them to dehydrate and then die. It is organic and safe for children and pets.

Depends on exactly what sort of ants they are...........

One cup warm water with ½ cup sugar and 3 tablespoons borax. Soak it up with cotton balls and place them in shallow dishes near ant trails

  Resist the urge to kill all the ants you see. They will carry the bait back to the nest, unable to differentiate between the borax and sugar, and the borax particles will eventually kill the entire colony. The more bait carried back to the colony, the less ants you will have.
