Ants hate peppermint, orange peelings, and most red peppers.... they wont cross chalk lines, and can be contained to an area that way until killed.... Try good old fashioned grits... they take it to the colony and eat it.. it swells with water and they die... also try mixing boric acid and sugar water and pour it on the ant hill ... works great!

Alot of people are having trouble with Ants this time of year, myself included. We have alot of Fire Ants here in the South because of our Mild Winters. The best thing to do for ALL Ants is to follow the trail outside to the Mound. Boil a Pan of Water and add 1 cup of Bleach to it. Pour it directly on the Mound and any Trails you see. I PROMISE you this will kill them. Those that are already in your home, I would just set some ant bait out especially along counter tops. I would also spray the Window sills with Ant Killer. These methods will do the trick for awhile, but they will be back next year. Just keep repeating... Good Luck
