grits.

pour uncooked grits on the ground near the ant mount hole.
keep the the grits dry so they don't swell until after the
ants have eaten them. the ant can not handle or process
the grits and the swelling action of the grits when they
meet with the moisture in the ant will do the ant in.

however, unless they are [FIRE] ants, most people would
consider ants in a garden a plus. soil aeration is an
ant's specialty.
