I found somewhere on the Internet that said corn starch will kill ants. Not sure if that is applicable to the kind of ants you have. It takes awhile, seem the little buggers take the corn starch back to the nest where they munch on it and they can't digest corn starch.

I found this out because the hippy lady living in my front house was freaking out about ants, so I offered to spray and she said "oh no I don't want poison sprayed around my house" (she has a four year old). Well in a couple of days it took me to research non poisons ant control she called and said "screw it spray!"

I use malathion and a pump sprayer, I just do the outside perimeter/cracks/vents, works great! Because of the four year old that plays out in the yard I don't put out traps.
