Windex does keep ants away and also kills the ants as well.
Spraying the ants with Windex kills the ants within seconds and also cleans the surfaces they are on.
Baking soda is also another way to kill ants but it takes awhile for the ants to die after ingesting it.
Baking soda gets rid of ants in the kitchen and other places by way of the ants ingesting the baking soda which drys out the ant from the inside out and then the ant eventually dies.
Baking soda kills ants when they ingest it and is thought to dry out their bodies from the inside.
This happens very quickly, and ants will die within a few minutes of eating baking soda.
That's why we suggest to sprinkle baking soda over the ant nests.

Similarly if the ant eats some cinnamon they will also die and suffocate from the cinnamon.
