Boric acid works. Here's a recipe.

One cup warm water
Two tablespoons sugar
One teaspoon boric acid (from drug store or buy Roachpruf at hardware place)

Shake together in lidded jar and put into soda bottle caps near an ant trail.
They take the stuff home and feed it to the nest. It's also a good idea to
caulk where they are coming into the house.

Cheers,
