When I was prepping my beds for this spring all four were filled with ants. I threw some Amdro all over each bed and mixed it in with a hoe. after a week there were zero.
ETA: I started burning my beds for initial prep, and that has also helped some. If there are mounds anywhere I give them a good dose of lighter fluid and let it soak in. Been successful in the yard with that as well.

We use corn starch. Dont want to have any harsh chemicals in the beds where we are growing.
The corn starch just drives them to other locations but we are able to keep them out of the beds. Its a constant fight.
