Mache has the best answer. I put borax (it's cheap) with a little honey around certain areas. The ants get it on their feet, clean their feet and die. Other ants eat them and also die. Just make sure that your pets don't get any.

All I know is spray them away with insecticide. What kind of ants are present in your house? There are many varieties of ants around. If the ants present in your house are those and walks very past though they are tiny enough, according to my grand mother , they bring good luck so they don't like to get rid of them.

Terro ant baits are the best! You put the bait out where the ants go then the next day you see tons of them feasting there then they are all gone they feed it to the queen too.

Buy some ant baits. Or if you know how they're getting in, sprinkle baby powder or cayenne pepper at their entry, they wont pass through.

yeah, my grandma used this.
cover some instant grits with a little honey and put it in a conspicous place. ants take this back to the queen and when they eat it the grits expand in their stomach killing them. no queen no ants!

Sprinkle cayenne pepper about....they don't like this. Otherwise you may need to buy an insecticide to spray around the outside of your house.

sprinkle borax across thresholds and window cracks or where ever they are coming in.
