boric acid is a powder you get at you pharmacy and it will kill them and roaches...Maybe not at first but it does work if left at the basebords and cabnets fora while. They walk in it carry it back to their nests and die...

We don't use it by our backyard pond. Seems to work MUCH better than sprays.
It's now against the law to sell Diazinon.

Are they little black stinky ant? Argentine ants? if so, they are hard to get rid of, they are trying to find water/moisture, the baits we got did not work at all, we bombed which made it 100x worse, there is a spray my dads tenant buys for around 8.00 a can and it works wonders but I dont know the name of it, sorry, I will try to remember to get the name for you.

we have a product here in England called Nippon, and it's brilliant, you just put a few drops on a piece of card, and within minutes there are loads of ants round it, they take it bback to the nest and hey presto, all dead, fab stuff, i got my last lot on Ebay

I'VE USED CORMEAL, COCO WHEAT, MALT O MEAL. ANY IF THOSE WORK REALLY WELL. I ALSO MAKE A TRAIL OF IT OUTSIDE IN THE AREA THAT THEY SEEM TO BE COMING IN. IT IS AMAZING AND SAFE FOR PETS IF THEY HAPPEN TO GET INTO IT OR MOST ESPECIALLY FOR OUR LITTLE ONES IF THEY'D GET INTO THE AREA IT IS DOWN ON IN THE HOUSE....... GOOD LUCK, THIS REALLY WORKS. I HAVE USED THIS METHOD ANY TIME I HAVE ANTS.....

sprinkle cinnamon over their path. The cinnamon kills the scent trail, which confuses the ants and they disperse for parts unknown.
It is messy, but it works. I guess you could find some cinnamon scented oil and do the same thing, and it wouldn't be as messy.
We sprinkle some cinnamon at all the doors to the house periodically, because that seems to be their easiest way in the house. Probably because we drop so many crumbs if we're eating when we go out the door!
