Diatramacious Earth..... it will kill any insect with a hard exoskeleton when it crawls across it! It won't hurt animals or children... some farmers feed it to their animals to keep the fleas off them! It works on Texas ants! And Boy do we have 'em!! I get mine at the feed store, but I think even Walmart sells it now.

I don't know about outside, but inside I use equal parts powdered sugar and Borax. It works like a charm and is non-toxic/earth friendly. You could give it a try in their mounds.

Cinnamon - trust me it sounds CRAZY but it works. I worked in a Preschool where we couldnt use chemicals and if you put down a little cinnamon where they are comming in from they will run like the wind!

Try straight white vinegar, and a bunch of it! It worked for me, and my plants were fine. Good luck!

I haven't idea about out door ants.
You can use to get rid of them by using pest control.
