First of all, buy or build an ant farm. The next step is definitely get a hold on ants. You can order them, but the fastest way would be catching them yourself. Put some sugar and water in a jar and wait for ants to arrive. Very important is to catch a queen. Most colonies won't last more than a couple of months without one. Now you only have to feed and care for your ants. This way the colonies will grow and the farm will be at health.
Other queen ants of course! A queen ant will sometime lay eggs that will develop into new queens that, once hatched, will leave their birth nests and go and start their own.
Yes, ginger repels ants.
Specifically, the plant in question (Zingiber officinale) contains essential oils which have their role as natural repellents and in traditional medicine. Terpineol is one such oil. Depending upon which isomer is involved, terpineol may be used in perfumes or in repellents. It will be even more effective than the active ingredient carbaryl in suppressing ants when they behave as garden and household insect pests.

Edit: Borax is the active ingredient in a number of commercial ant killing products, including Terro Liquid Ant Baits. It interferes with their metabolism, but kills relatively slowly, so that the bait is transported back to the colony and distributed to other ants. I don't know what concentration of household borax would be required to kill pests, but the stuff IS used commercially for this purpose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some places on the internet say to mix 20 Mule Team borax with sugar. I always found it was sufficient just to sprinkle some in their trails without mixing it with anything. It takes about a week. I had ants in the kitchen this spring. I found what I assume WAS the nest, but I have no more ants. Is all I did is sprinkle some borax along the kitchen baseboards. This doesn't work with carpenter ants in my experience.
