Default Ants and coffee grounds

I just read that ants don't like coffee grounds. Has anyone tried spreading them around entry points and plants to deter the ants? I would much rather have coffee grounds around my kitchen than insecticide.

Does this work or does anyone have a remedy that does and is non toxic. I know about borax but it is also not good to have around food.
