Ants are always getting into my home and even the exterminators cant kill them all off. I've tried many things but nothing works. Now if there isn't any way to get rid of ants permanantly then I'd like to know if there is some sort of plant/object/etc. That constantly repels them and never wears off.

uuuuh actually they they come in anyways and get into the food storage areas through cracks and i dun have the money to get them fixed. And i want a less violent solution that doesnt involve destroying the house.

Ever thought about treating the yard? Under the house might be good too.

I was thinking of this too, might fix your ant problem,
sealing holes as said before should help too!

Potential puns aside he is 100% right. If you have open areas in your food cabinents then you need to seal them, and caulk is the best way. Duct tape a close second.
Don't jump on him 'cause you can't keep your house in order.
