I also could use a homemade ant killer.

Thanks so very much.

Have you tried cinnamon. Ants can't fart so they blow up.

I tried nearly every product on the market to get rid of ants that made hills in cracks on my garage floor. The ants actually caused my garage floor to heave because they burrowed deep into the cracks and made hills. Finally, I discovered that cinnamon was a miracle. I sprinkled it heavily on the hills. Ants were gone completely in about 3 weeks, but definitely saw a difference in one week. I repeated every 2 months during summer. Then only needed it twice a year for the next year and now I use it once a year as a preventive. Plus the garage smells great! This is the best thing ever. Worked on red ants and black ants that I know of. Make sure you know where they are coming from and sprinkle there.

mix equal parts powdered sugar and Borax and spread around baseboards or wherever the ants are traveling. works every time.

Buy some 20 Mule Team Borax (not Borateem) on the laundry shelve of your local grocery. Sprinkle it along their path and around your house close to the foundation. Use the rest in your laundry!

i just got one myself so we can try it together. you use 4 oz. of each peanut butter, sugar and boric acid. blend well and place it in the ants path to where they are gathering. the person said it takes a couple of times but that it works great.

if the ants are in your house spread mothballs around the foundation. I do this every spring and seldom have a problem and it goes away real quick

Try blending orange peels and water. Pour the 'smoothie' down the ant hole.
