Try to find where they are coming in and then block the hole up and put poison down. They are coming in somewhere, just follow their line and figure it out. Once you get them where they live they won't come back again.

Try this: Ants HATE oranges. So peel a half a dozen fresh oranges, put the orange rinds only (you can save the oranges for breakfast!) in a blender with a cup of hot water. Puree for a minute or two- and then strain the juice into a spray bottle. Use the orange "mash"- wherever you see ants coming out of (in cracks or holes along the bottom of walls), and use the Orange Spray on whatever you don't want ants to visit. You may have to repeat this once a week for a month; -but in the end, the ants should run for their lives.

First you have to clean your room the floors walls etc. Ants leave a tracking chemical everywhere they go, that is how other ants follow. After you do this caulk any open areas around the wall base, windows, etc. If the problem persists your home may be infested with Ants and you'll have to call an exterminator.

I'd suggest looking for the source of those ants, find out where they're coming from, and block it.
They might be coming from a crack on the wall or window. If so, cover it up tightly with tape or something.
Also, remove sweet substances such as sugar from your room, because those tend to attract ants also.
Hope that helps.

you have to follow the ant trail and figure out where they are getting in at. Then go outside and spray outdoor ant spray all around the area. You may have to do this every summer.

It sounds to me like there is a nest close-by and until you
kill the nest, they'll keep coming back.
If you put some sugar or ant food on the floor, you might be
able to follow them for awhile to see where it is.
You may need to hire an exterminator.

They might be carpenter ants, they are more like termites, a ltittle harder to get rid of also, a lot of standard ant killers (especially traps) don't work on them.

Assuming you don't leave food, drinks, sweets, crumbs, etc lying around, then you may need to have your room visited by an exterminator.
