A great way to get rid of ants and other Pheromone driven insects is with urinal tablets. Urinal tablets release a mild and pleasant scent to humans however Bee's and ants do not share the same feeling. Another great source of nutrients and insect repellent for the plant is used coffee grounds. Its acidic base is a deterrent for insects while provided food for the plant.

Diazinon and Dursban were the best, but are now banned in the US.
Ants can be effectively controlled by using a variety of professional products. When ants are in the home and you're not sure where they are coming from, or they seem to be in several different places, then one of the many ant bait products below should quickly solve your problem. Aerosols and dusts kill ants on contact in wall voids and along baseboards. Liquid insecticides and granular insecticides are great for killing ants in lawns and landscaped areas and for placing a barrier around the outside of the home to kill ants before they enter the house.
Outdoor Granules - For use outside against and around the foundation; in garden beds and lawns. Helps stop ants and other pests before they get to the house.
Some examples:
Demand G Granules
An excellent granular insecticide for lawns from the makers of Demand CS.
Talstar EZ Granular Insecticide
Talstar® EZ Granular Insecticide is easy to spread and tough on pests. The EZ and PL are the same product. Talstar EZ granules are larger.
