Natural ant remedy

Another fruitless search.  I dug around online to find a natural, non-toxic remedy for getting rid of those pesky ants I noticed in my kitchen a few days ago.   I found one that consisted entirely of cornmeal, which I happened to have in my pantry and thought, great, let's try it.  All was fine for awhile and I only saw a few random ants with my mounds of cornmeal on the kitchen floor warding them away until my dog, Snoozy, discovered the delicious cornmeal "treats" sprinkled where he is normally fed.   Needless to say my dog loves cornmeal (who knew?) and lapped it up almost as quickly as I put it down, on the sly, usually after I left the room.  So much for that.  At least it was a natural remedy considering how much Snoozy consumed.

Suggestions?
