"..... I have lots of ant hills appearing all over my lawn. I prefer not to
mow the lawn too short but want to try and get the ants to live somewhere
else like in the flower borders. Also I don't want to put down ant powder.

the only answer would be to grass the flower beds over and to turn your lawn
into flower beds..........and then they would only move to your new lawn.
They wouldn't like the disturbance of weeding, digging and hoeing.
