We have successfully used mint to repel ants.  We don't have a problem
with ants in the garden, but have purged them from the kitchen at 3
different locations by planting mint around the kitchen windows and the 
back door.  Mint can get a little out of hand though.  We let ours seed
and there is no problem with having too little.  Mowed down (as around
the garden) though, would probably keep it from spreading too much.
