Natural control for Ants

Paule Hjertaas answers:   As for little ants coming in the house, if you are sure they are coming from outside and don't have a nest somewhere inside, washing up the ants' path with soap and water would confuse them. there are also several herbs that can deter them. There is also a page on natural ant control in the power point presentation of the Organic Gardening class..

If you do a google search on ants or aphids on the major websites I have listed in alternatives (NCAP, PANNA, or Beyond Pesticides), you can likely find other ideas and a much more complete answer.
