Safe ant repellant options

[Snicker Bar]

Does anyone know of any safe or natural ant repellents we can use around the perimeter of our outdoor porch ? The little pests are always looking for crumbs etc ...

I use Diatomaceous earth with success

Plain Borax found in the laundry detergent aisle works too.

Ants can be a real nuisance! It requires a lot of time and patience to get rid of the pests. Borax powder, peppermint oil helps a lot. To prevent future infestations, eliminate moist conditions and isolate wood from direct contact with soil. Remove old logs and lumber from around your property and don't store firewood inside your house. If the matter becomes worse, a pest control company can be consulted for better solutions and help.

Justin, you're posting in super old threads. Are you a rehabber, do you have a squirrel, are you a wildlife enthusiast or are you here to link to outside services?
