I use to try natural ant repellent to get rid of ants. One of the powerful natural ant repellent is the vinegar. The vinegar will cause ant to run away and leave the place. Look for the ants trail even in your windows or doors and spray it with vinegar. Once they smell the odor of the vinegar, they will not even try to come inside your house. For an effective result, spray near their nests and they will not stay there for long.
