I also sprinkle some clove sticks as I was told that works as well
seems to keep all ants away and smells good too  |
I do the same thing. It does work and freaks them out. I haven't tried clove yet. Maybe this year if I see them.
There is also some stuff where the ants are attracted to it, they bring it back to their queen, she eats it and that's the end of the colony. However, it is really toxic and harmful to other animals and humans. My dad tried it and it worked but he doesn't have animals/little ones running around.
