Natural Ant Control - Garden Ant Deterrents

Natural ant control presupposed the ants are in the house. Ants in the garden are doing their job and while they may be unsightly, they are part of nature's design. They're actually like little vacuum cleaners, sucking up bits of fungus and garden detritus that would otherwise act as a food source for bad guys.

Ants in the garden are good guys

Ants in the garden are cleaning up the fungus, they do not create the fungal problems or dead plants. Think of them as nature's clean up crew taking advantage of the damage done by other diseases and insects.

And no, they don't cause peonies to open (they're there sucking up the sweet sap from the buds) and peonies will open nicely with or without them.
