Ants don't like mint, grow some where they may have a nest and rub the fresh leaves where they are infiltrating your home. Do a simple test if you don't believe me, I didn't believe it at first either. They won't cross that spot for months. What you do is take some leaves and then rub their trail is, like you are scrubbing with a sponge.
This will result in your place smelling like fresh mint.

That reminds me that spiders don't like cinnamon. You can get cinnamon oil and mix a little in a spray bottle with water to spray around your doors during spider season (fall) to discourage them from building webs right in your doorway.

And if anyone reading this has a cat using their garden as a litter box, citrus peels. My mom tried this, and a former co-worker had a citrus tree (I don't remember what kind) and he said his cats never went near it.
