The best thing I have found that kills the ants but won't harm animals or plants is grits. Sprinkle some on the ant hill and let them go eat. The ants eat the grits which dehydrate them and kill them. It can take up to a week to get rid of the whole ant farm but it is the safest way to rid yourself of the ants.

I've heard that ants hate cinnamon so try sprinkling some near the areas you see ants.
