DIY Natural Ant repellant

Okay so in addition to my children I have other guest or should I say pestilence in my house!! ANTS!!
Ants are so horrible because they are small and then form these little military lines across my my kitchen on my dishes and in my sink.

    For a minute I thought they paid rent in my place and I was the one that was intruding! The day I found one chilling in my tea cup that was the straw that broke the camels back! (Whatever that means lol!) So I had to find a way to get rid of them before they got rid of me...they were literally giving me the boot, I couldn't take it no more.
