Answer 2

I found the easiest way was to pour paraffin where they seamed to congregate when a thunder storm was very probable then treat all obvious places with the ant dusting powder

Answer 3

A simple Indoor/Outdoor insecticide sprayed around the entry points outside of your home will keep them from coming in.  I use (Bug Stop) from Sprectracide that i bought at Walmart for $4.

Simple, clean and very affective.

Answer 4

Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her.

Answer 5

i've heard that if you put salt where the enter it will stop them. ants hate salt

Answer 6

I use this white chalk that kills all the ants in around three hours.. go to a local hardware store/ house maintenance and they should have some. All you have to do is draw a line around the ants, and three-four hours later, they're dead! It looks just like regular chalk, but it kills ants :).  Make sure you wash your hands after you use it though because remember it's still a poison.  Good luck!

Answer 7

cleaning will not stop ants from coming into your home, it just gives them a nice place to live..  if it's just a few smaller ants around the kitchen cabinets, gets some ant traps and place them in some out of the way places like under the sink, behind the fridge, etc.   get some home defense spray at your local lumber yard/home center-- spray around baseboards, radiators,  anywhere you may see them .. keep as much food and sweets in higher areas    ..if you have several big black ants, you may have carpenter ants in the walls nesting-- you'll need a prof. exterminator to get those bad boys out
