You can buy boric acid powder in any pharmacy. It usually comes in 4 oz or
1 lb bottles.
The 1 lb bottle is  more economical.  Just sprinkle it around the area that
you want to keep ants out of. For some reason they don't like to cross over
it. It works well around doorways and foundations also. You do have to
repeat after a heavy rain though.
