Get rid of ants permanently with Vinegar

So we have been using vinegar for a lot of things around the house from cleaning to flea control. Since it seems to help with our dogs fleas we wanted to see what it would do with ants. Well, as you can see vinegar does not kill the ants chemically but it will drown them. They also don't like to come back and it seems to wash their chemical trail pretty well.

I guess it does not kill fleas either. As soon as we would wash our dog she would go out for potty and fleas would jump on her right away from the neighbor dogs that like to visit. Now we wash and after we dry her we spray some 50/50 diluted vinegar on her and rub it into her fur to let dry. She's not too happy about it but her hair is soft and full and the fleas don't seem to bother her anymore.
