Ants around cause of sweet things, even cleaned the area, ants still come and scout for food, like zelensky, unable to peace talk with them, so i had to look for alternative. What kind of repellent i can use that ants will stop scouting the area ? it need to be safe for human(not poison) as kids around. Used shelltox, but only last for hours.

Sugar water with borax has worked wonders for me 3 times already.
