Boiling hot water kills them instantly! Alternatively, get a shallow pot and fill it with honey and the ants will soon come and get stuck:)

Mix boric acid powder half n half with powdered sugar. It will not harm kids or pets; but the ants will take it back to their nest,...and it kills the whole colony...

sprinkle black pepper along window sills and doorways. They won't cross it.
