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.

Pour gasoline over them. We tried all kinds of things this year. Spent a small fortune and nothing was really effective long term...we poured gasoline over them and they are gone! Use a gas/oil mixture like you would use in a 2 cycle engine. The oil coates over the eggs and the ants to be sure they do not escape without death.

Ants become a nuisance when they enter homes. Instead of spending money on costly pest control, you can get rid of ants by removing the food source and using soap water.
I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/mdhlm useful.

I have had a lot of success with Sevin Dust powder form. It will not hurt the plants and the ants will go away. Good luck.

get an ant eater and all your problems are solved. be sure to give it a mean name so the ants get scared when it comes to eat them. also get it a collar with spikes.

Seven dust works great or be very careful and pour boiling water. Ammonia also works.
