I have never heard of this…does it kill them or just make them move?
I have them move, have heard of other allium varieties working too but not directly observed it.
Once they move out of the garden nuke them with chemicals.
Slicing the onions produces the release of the sulphur and ruins their fungus farming (ants cultivate fungus in the tunnels to feed on).

Ants are great farmers, they're actually remarkable in that capacity. They will actually move aphids onto the plants they need them on so the aphids can create "honey dew" and they can eat it or take it to the colony.
