Ants are overwhelmed by the scent of mint leaves. It will "repel" them but they will usually find a way around the problem if their goal is to get to the other side. Unfortunately for mint and other home remedies, the best (and virtually only) way to rid yourself of an ant problem all together is a good bait that will be taken back to the queen and will destroy the entire colony within a few weeks.
