if your going organic...
do the borax/powdered sugar mix inside...find where they are entering from...after they are gone..caulk it
find the trail outside...sprinkle cornmeal...it expands and gums up their insides...they die...
i use the cornmeal in my garden...the granulated(for under pizza crusts) not the stoneground(powdered)

A year or so ago I had lots of ants coming in and helping my cats eat their dry food. So on a whim I put down some white breath mints that came in individual little plastic packets in a big bag.
I forget the brand name. The ants left and I've never seen any in my house since.
Since they were a big hit in the house, I put some on an ant's nest outdoors, and they swarmed all over them and loved the mint flavor. I had to resort to my tried and true Sugar and Boric Acid mixture to get rid of them.
