Ants repellent that is safe for kids and dogs?

I've got ants in my kitchen and living room. They are the very tiny black ones. What would be the best product to use knowing that there are dogs and small children in the house?


Thanks youAnts repellent that is safe for kids and dogs?
Hi you could try either vinegar.Just spray the area where the ants are as they don`t like the fumes.


Also talc is good.You need to make a line near where the ants are because apparently the ants won`t go through the line .Sounds crazy but true ,


Oh another way is mix washing powder with sugar and leave near the ants entrance. The ants will eat this and take it back to the nest and give to the queen which kills it.


Good luck.Ants repellent that is safe for kids and dogs?
Washing powder with sugar? I would like to see that happen. Ants are smarter than that, they shall pickup sugar and leave the powder. So, really you would be leaving food instead of bait. And pets? don't you think they would be happy to lap the sugar?
