BLACK PEPPER WILL DETER ANTS. JUST SPRINKLE IT WHERE YOU DONT WANT THEM TO CROSS.
IT WILL NOT KILL THEM AND THEY WONT COME BACK!!!

eh....well,....actually killing them quickly would probably be better than you burning them to death with that blow dryer...Why dont you suck them up in a vacuum, and then take the vacuum bag outside and let them free.
Or you could get a jar, and put something sweet in the back of it, like honey, or something sugary, and set it on your windowsill......wait for all (or atleast the majority) to climb into the jar, cap it, carry it outside, take the lid off and put the jar on the ground so they can climb out when theyre done eating?

Wow.. usually blowing them away works for me~
..but try to find out where they're coming from and where they're going.
From where I'm from, some ants go for sweet things while others go for raw meat or something.
So, Find out where their destination is and i guess you could try thinking of something that would stop them from coming in~

Try water, ants wont drown in it and you can wash them away. They will come back though because theres something there that attracts them right there or perhaps in other apartment. Is its just on your window sill ? Id paint it to make sure I lock them out of it

Maybe go trying hugging them? Just show them love.
:•)
You can't. Seriously, unless you want to pick each one individually and put them in a jar so they can live free. I understand though. I mean, who would want to kill a wonderful ant. I mean, its not like there are several hundred trillion of them...

The sooner you kill them the sooner they'll return as people.
Just squish them so they leave a chemical trail. They won't return during day light.
BTW since you're a vegan eating them is out. Get a cat.
They like ants. Ummm tasty.

Your gonna have to kill them, spray some anti0ant spray ro something or put a fan near you and the fan can blow them away without hurting them.

Either way some how your going to kill one by accident if theres too many and if you cant see that you killed one already try bagging them up so you wont kill them get a zip lock or ...suck them up in a vacuum that wont kill them and put them in a happy place... :)

HOT peppers actually work. Lay a few around where they come in. Also you may want to try to seal up the window. might help keep em out.
