Genuine issue here, does anyone have any good solutions to getting rid of ants?
Last time they started getting inside the house, but luckily they haven't reached that stage yet. I've tried those store bought ant poison pellets, and it seemed to have no impact. I've tried making some sugar water and borax solution and it did attract a bunch of ants to the baits, but it seemed to only get half the ants. So half the area is clear of ants (for now) but there is another stream of ants like a metre away that was unaffected.
Put a little sugar outside the house and let the ants go to him. Last time they started getting inside the house, but luckily they haven't reached that stage yet.

use black pepper it works
If you have already tried all organic products and you have to get rid of black ants in the garden, then you have to turn them into chemical means.
I tried sugar and old candies soaked with boric acid as this article says. It worked really well, ants brought the bait into the nest and it eventually killed the queen as well as the other insects. Did extra cleaning with vinegar after that, just to be sure.
Totally agreed on this though i never had a chance of trying this borax and candy combination but the thing is,in every ants colony theres a queen and the whole group will die if the queen died so better try this soon to prevent them all,and also i will do my own trial lol 
I tried powdered sugar with powdered rat poison mixed in. That didn't work.
So, I simply got rid of the ncles, and the ants followed... you know, aunts uncles.
What works for me are those little ant traps you get at many department stores in the cleaning or hardware sections.

If they are in the kitchen: Don't leave anything food related in the house! Don't leave the dishes etc.
Even if he do anything like that stillw ants will find ways to look for their foods,what you need to do is follow the track and get into the Queen thats the only chance to escape from the misery,you must Dig deeper to get and kill the Queen so they will gone forever,i did that once but i am going to tele you that its not easy ,or better call the pest control to do the job
The pellets you buy from the store typically takes over a week to work because they need to take it back to the nest and there are thousands of them in a nest.
Some things I've found to work:

- Spraying the path they use so they lose their way
- Spraying the entrance they use into your home from outside
- Leaving the dead ones you killed behind to warn them off

Find the nest and kill the queen with bleach or boiling water.

Do not leave food open at night, especially sugar or honey, and dirty dishes))There are many means to combat their appearance. It can help even everywhere a little scattered kitchen soda.
Pour rock salt on these ants! YOu can also use water spray just to get rid of them ants!
There are special organizations that expel harmful residents from your home for a small fee. Search the web
The ants that you see are the scouts, and there is no point killing them. They will just send more. As somebody has suggested, put stuff down like vinegar or paraffin. They will go back and tell the others that it's not a nice place to visit.
Try to find the reason why they are so brazenly climb into the house. It could be anything, such as food. There are special services that fight pests, try to contact them.
The usual stuff that we buy on grocery stores that can eliminate ants.
We use vinegar at home to avoid ants, they hate the smell.
I use that too, they really hate the smell of it.
Find the nests and pour boiling water in the nests.
I own a remote house in an olive grove with a lot of mice and rats, so I am using rodent baits. I noticed last summer that ants like it and disappeared from house. Just give it a try.
