I was having problems with ants around my garage sidewalk and coming up through the wall so I decided to cover their antbeds with a thick layer of ashes. This made it so they couldn't crawl out of their holes or come up through it since it is such a fine powder. They also didn't want to rebuild out of ashes either it being such a powder so they tried to move, then I just covered their new (but much smaller) sections with it, the result being that now the earth will be scorched there and no ants will be on my sidewalk anymore having smothered them in ashes. I am pretty sure it kills the ants, they haven't come back and the bed was huge.
This makes it so I don't have to go around barefoot stepping in poison.
Make sure there is nothing left burning in the ashes before trying this.
