I have ants that keep trying to set up colonies outside my front door and window, so I'm trying a natural solution to get rid of them, and in the process use up the peels from clementines I've been eating. You can use a blender, food processor, or in my case human power and a hand chopper to puree the peels, then mix it with water and pour the mixture over the ant colonies. The ants don't like the acid or Limonene found in the peels.
EDIT: This didn't really work very well. The ants are tough. They moved the bits of peel off into a pile away from their colony.
