If you don't want chemicals, then outside, boiling water will work. Disturb the nest opening and then pour it in.
Inside, you could try hitting the ants with vinegar, or rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.

Ant traps (indoors) will work, at least the poison is contained.
Sticky traps will help, and have no poison.

Here we use a service (Massey) and haven't seen one bug of any kind in our home in 3 years. I am reconciled to SOME chemical use. You betcha.

Thanks for the info. Thought it sounded too easy to work. Borax sprayed with sugar water works but is not good if an animal gets in it and rain will wash away so only inside would work at the moment. I was just curious if it worked for anybody
