Use Natural Diatomaceous Earth, at a microscopic level it cuts like razor sharp edges through the insect body and dessicates them to death. Wear a dust mask while dusting it around..but once it settles it is not dangerous to you. Keep pets or animal away while you are applying it.
Other frugal ways are pouring vinegar onto the anthill or nest for the insects, cayenne pepper, pepper, nicotene (if you smoke keep a jar of all old butts and then soak them in water. mix in tabasco sauce, soak it for about a week and then filter out just the liquid to pour onto area around your garden) its a deterrent but probably will not kill them.
