What is an Organic way to get rid of ants in a kitchen.?

Question

PLEASE help me, no pesticides please.

Answer 1

Put a dab of honey, jelly, grease, and flour at the bottom of your kitchen sink.  Give them time to discover it and form trails.  Then spray some teflon or silicon lubricant on the sides of the sink.  The ants will be able to crawl in but they won't be able to climb back out.  Then you can just wash them down the drain as they accumulate.

Answer 2

lure the ants away. you can use honey on paper, or bait in

a jar with vaseline on the rim. also, ants can't walk over chalk.

a nice line of chalk will keep any ant at away.

Answer 3

eat them :P

hahah i agree with the honey on the paper.. good idea

Answer 4

Ants like all insect breath through their skin.  They have an oil through which they allow air to pass through their skin.  That is why you can submerge them and they don't drown.  But if you wash the oil off with a little soap they suffocate.  I mix 2-3 tablespoons of dish soap in a spray bottle of water and just spray them.  They die in a minute or two and I wash them up with a sponge.  This works with all insects and spiders.  Some spiders, like black widows, take up to 5 minutes to drown.
