proper treatment can depend on what type of ants they are. I also found
on
the 'net that 8 oz. of a natural soap (peppermint, lavender, tea tree)
mixed
with 1 oz. essential oil (citronella, cinammon, rose, tea tree) and
diluted
with water is supposed to make a good spray/wash. You add 5 tbsp. of
this
mix to a quart of water. I wonder if the health food store would already
have a premixed solution. I have heard of the boric acid/sugar mix, but
that is a killing mixture vs. a deterrent.

I've heard cayenne works too, but I've never personally used it.

I seem to recall spearmint leaves being good deterrents.
