My mum buys lime and spreads it around the yard. Ants hate lime and they try to get away from it....so now we have no ants (=

I think you can buy lime at like....produce stores.

Answer 3

You could use boiling water but that could bet messy.

If they are large black ants you need a professional.

Answer 4

I have always just sprinkled some AJAX or Comet on top of them and their trail. The next day they are gone. It has always worked. I'm sure you have some of that laying around the house.

Answer 5

  I use a mixture of borax, cayenne pepper and bay leaves

  I find where they are coming in and sprinkle with this mixture - I put it all along the walls, doors, windows, around and under appliances, on the sink, under the sink, in cabinets and drawers.

  if the are coming in through the door - a simple chalk line (school chalk will keep them out)  BIG red ants kept coming in through my mom's kitchen door - just on a whim, we took the school chalk and drew a line across the doorway and watched to see what would happen - when the ants stepped into the chalk, it stuck to their feet and they would try to shake it off - we never laughed so hard as we did that day watching the "dancing ants"
