Okay, so I had this issue at home once, the kitchen was invaded by soldier ants, they where really numerous. I couldn't think of how to get rid of them safely, then I started researching around, I wanted a cheap, non toxic and effective method, then I found out water and detergent kills them, like really really fast.

This was years ago, but I believe it's not that common, some people don't know about this, at least in my little corner of the world, hence I share this priceless method to you so you can get rid of ants anywhere, anywhere without panic. Just make a detergent solution, pour it on them and see the anointing. You could use hot water too if you got the time.

So do you have uncommon methods you use for controlling pests and insects at your house?

Nice. I'll give this one a try whenever I encounter them within our vicinity.

My mum was skeptical too about it, but she's now a preacher and devoted disciple, ants attacked again this morning, so she was sharing to her workers what to do, as expected, they where surprised and didn't know it was possible.
