Dig a hole, the size of the shovel mouth. Then pour palm oil or soup into it. Come back after 30 minutes to 1 hour. Once you see ants, boil water asap and pour the hot water inside the hole starting from the mouth of the hole. After they have died, bury them inside that same hole, you can repeat it once in a week. This is how I keep ants away from my snail farm

These are some method that might be helpful.

1)Ground black or red pepper

Black or red (cayenne) pepper is a natural ant deterrent, as the insects appear to find the smell irritating.

To use this method, sprinkle pepper around baseboards and behind appliances. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this is a safe way to help keep ants at bay.

2)Check your houseplants

Check your houseplants for swarms of ants, which might indicate nests underneath the soil. Discard any plants that appear to be infested.

To stop ants from making homes in your plants, surround the soil with citrus rinds from lemons or oranges.
